Book Reviews of Song of the Lark

Book Review: art for arts sake
Summary: 4 Stars

The Song Of The Lark is Cathers third novel and is her longest novel.The length is the biggest a very good n of the book it feels padded at times but overall the novel is very good. Thea Kronborg the protagonist is a small town music teacher who throught the death of her lover gets an inheritance that enables her to leave her small Colorado town and move to Chicago to develope her signing voice. She succeeds in doing so but her singleminded devotion to her music leads to frustration and other negative consequences in her personal life. This potrait of the aridness of small town life and the obsessiveness of an artist totally dedicated to excellence in her art is a very good novel only some padded scenes that go too long or are needlessly repetitive keep it from 5 stars
