Lucy Gayheart and the Limits of Love in Willa Cather
A review notes a remoteness and artificiality in Willa Cather’s Lucy Gayheart. It follows a Nebraska girl who travels to Chicago to study piano, becomes involved with a greatly older singer, and is kept from becoming a fully realized character. The critique suggests the novel explores how love can distort reality. Weighed by a distant tone, the piece questions the singer’s depiction and the novel’s departure for its author.
