 A Lost Lady by Willa Cather
My review
rating: 3 of 5 stars
This novel challenges the concept of 'ideal,' more particularly, an ideal woman. Eastern gentility and refinement are seen as fronts for 'real' human motivations like despair and survival and greed. And yet, the main character still seems enamored by Eastern gentility and education and he leads a respectable, if boring, life. He seems torn by the principles of the East and his home in the West. And in the end that friction remains in the reader as well.
