  1. Well into book 3! The bishop is still very much alive. I'm enjoying this story; Cather has such a way with words and is very observant on human nature.

    I started reading this because it was recommended to me by an author I met at a café, a locally run business. She was a huge fan of Cather and suggested this one when I asked for recommendations.

    Among things, that encounter reminded me of the value of public spaces like this, where people can meet by chance, have enriching conversations, and leave refreshed and the better off mentally, emotionally, and spiritually (by which I mean as human beings relating to other human beings).

Sapphira and the Slave Girl was Cather’s final novel, published in 1940, and based and that story she overheard as a child.
