Willa Cather and reading rules – welcome to episode 133 of ‘Tea or Books?’!
In the first half, we discuss reading rules – when we’re picking up a book, are there certain things that will definitely put us off? In the second half, we compare two novels by Willa Cather: Sapphira and the Slave Girl and A Lost Lady.
