Piece Regarding Books Winter Wheat

I really enjoyed this book. It is about a young woman who has lived her life on a farm in Montana. There is enough money to send her to college back east which allowed Ellen to spread her wings. It is not boring, but it feels casual and easy to read. I think I am reminded of Willa Cather's writing and that may be a reason I liked this book so much.

Reminds me of an adult version of the Laura Ingalls Wilder stories, set at the cusp of the United States' entry into WWII. As such, it has much more nuance and focus on characters and their inner lives than just plot and adventure. But if you liked that setting, reading about the difficulty and triumph of their lives on the prairie, you might also enjoy this book.

The title makes this book sound very boring. However, the author is a pretty decent writer and makes an extremely boring book be a little more exciting. I would have given this book 3 stars if I were to base it on the writing, character development and descriptions. It reminded me of A Tree Grows in Brooklyn a little bit. However, the story itself was quite uneventful. Not a whole lot happens. She loves a boy, he dies in the war. Another guy likes her, but she doesn't like him. She thinks her

What a lovely story. Set in the 1940s, this is a coming of age story set in the wheatfields of central Montana. A young girl at the start of the story, Ellen Webb is the only child of a WWI veteran and his Russian immigrant wife. She's happy. She doesn't see her ramshackle house, the grinding poverty, or the tension between her parents. She loves her environment. She's a good girl. Her parents have a relatively good harvest, enough to send her to college. She makes a friend. She loves her

I can't decide if this book is three or four stars. This is longer than usual as book club is three weeks off and I need to remember what I'm thinking. The language is beautiful, but the writing has some substantial problems to me. On one hand, the descriptions of the setting are lovely-- it reminds mw of My Antonia in its love for the landscape, but it's less boring and repetitious. The three main characters are beautifully drawn. But the metaphors are heavy-handed. And I don't know why Ellen

I finished this weeks ago and I thought I had already written my review! Loved it b/c it was about a girl from the west (like me) and there are so few (at least that I know of) well written books about us.Also I liked that it was a little messy--she learned some lessons, but there are also things that aren't cut and dried.I can't write a decent review since it's been so long. Sorry. Takes place in the 1940s--WWII. She's growing up on a wheat farm in Montana. Goes off to college for a year, falls

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
