Willa Cather's 1923 Pulitzer Prize winning novel, One of Ours, proves that a novel about war doesn't have to take place only on the battlefield.
I'm glad I waited to read the final pages a few hours after my youngest son and my three-year-old grandson left after visiting over Memorial Day weekend. My son is a decorated combat veteran who followed in the footsteps of my husband and his father, both who served in combat.
With my grandson's laughter still ringing in my ears, along with the recent memories of my son and his son racing each other back and forth across the lawn, I sat alone with my two rescue dogs on my back patio and read the final pages of One of Ours. As a hot wind blew, I blinked away the tears as Army Lieutenant Claude Wheeler, an introspective young man raised on a farm on the plains of Nebraska, meets his destiny in France during WWI. In some ways he's been welcoming it his whole life.
Much of the novel takes place in Nebraska where Claude Wheeler has been searching for something he can't find in a patriarchal family controlled by his father, a wealthy landowner. While Claude longs to attend university and complete his education, he learns so much more about people and other places once he leaves Nebraska. On a transport train in France, he is surprised to see Cottonwood trees just like the ones that grow in Nebraska.
He strikes up a friendship with another lieutenant named David Gerhardt, a professional violinist before he joined the Army. Willa Cather is at her best when describing landscapes and the way people interact with each other. She based her character, Claude Wheeler, after her first cousin who was killed in WWI.
