Sips n' Stories Book Club (O Pioneers!)

Join us on Zoom for a drink and book discussion. We'll make a Cucumber Pioneer and then discuss O Pioneers! by Willa Cather (or bring a drink of your choice).

The e-book and audiobook are available on Libby. The book is available at the library.

Summary: O Pioneers! is a story of the immigrants who came to America to build new lives for themselves. Struggling against poverty, ignorance, drought, and storm, they came to love and understand the land, until it rewarded them with a richness exceeding all imaginings. The Bergsons are a family of strong-willed Swedish immigrants who have come to make a living on the great prairie. When the father, John, dies, worn out by disease and debt, his eldest daughter, Alexandra, becomes the head of the family. This is the story of her love affair with the land—an American Midwest that is vast and golden.

Zoom meeting details will be emailed to you when you register. Must be 21 or older.
