Notice About Books Winter Wheat

I love the inner voice of the narrator/protagonist. And the imagery of the hard winter wheat.

Very Willa Cather-esque novel of a young girl coming of age in Montana. At first I was frustrated with the pace of the novel, but later came to appreciate it. Amazing how great authors can take some ordinary people in ordinary circumstances and turn them into something beautiful. I was in tears through almost all of Part Three. Spoiler alert: I loved how Ellen came around to appreciating her parents, even with their flaws and fallibility. And who doesn't love a great opening sentence? "September

I really loved this book set in rural Montana in the 1940s, although I was unconvinced when I started and wondered if I should finish. I'm so glad I did. Walker has real talent for describing Ellen's coming of age, leaving home for college, falling in love, teaching in a small rural school, and becoming an independent young woman. Those who say "Nothing much happens," have failed to take the same journey that Ellen takes; I know of few writers who can cover so much internal, emotional territory

This was a beautiful, enjoyable read that I could not put down. The description (a girl from a dry-wheat ranch in Montana goes to college, can't afford to attend the next year, becomes a teacher) didn't prepare me to like it as much as I did, but Mildred Walker's writing is a treat. It's one of those books in which you pause to reread certain sentences purely for how beautiful they are.I thought the end became a little earnest and precious, and that it went on for a bit too long, but don't let

I loved this book from the first page. The characters are so real and honest, you feel like you know them right away. Ellen takes us on a journey and we see the world through her eyes as she leaves her home and goes to college. When she returns, she sees things in a new light. Her home, her parents, her town, all that she came from seems different as she moves out of childhood and becomes an adult. I don't know that I've ever read a book that created such a clear picture of the people and the

This novel has a descriptive quality that is truly remarkable. The story focuses on a young woman who grows up on a Montana wheat farm, goes off to college in Minnesota for one year where she falls in love. She gets engaged and brings her fiance home to Montana where she sees her roots through his eyes - stark, barren and without love. He breaks off their engagement.Ellen then begins to see her past through her own eyes again and recognizes what she loved about it. She has many questions about

I loved this book. It reads like a classic. I loved how we really got inside of Ellen/Yelena's head. I loved the themes of what makes a good marriage, how working side by side builds up a love that means more than romantic love. I loved learning about the time period, the farm life, the significance of the two world wars in so many people's lives. Really glad someone else recommended this on Goodreads, and I really recommend it to others.
