Description
Willa Cather's My Mortal Enemy is a finely-wrought study of love and its consequences. Through the eyes of Nellie, we view the life of Myra, a woman who has romantically abandoned luxury to elope with an impoverished man. Twenty-five years later, their paths converge in a jerrybuilt West Coast hotel, where the high purpose of Myra's life - love itself - is revealed to be the enemy within. This poignant tale explores the great rewards and punishments that love can bring, as Nellie becomes dazzled by Myra's elegant poverty. Yet, beneath the surface of their artistic community in old New York, real poverty and hardship await. A powerful exploration of human relationships, My Mortal Enemy is a masterpiece of Willa Cather's art. With its exquisite prose and nuanced character study, this book offers a thought-provoking reading experience that will linger long after the final page is turned.
