My Mortal Enemy -- Willa Cather

Myra Driscoll had it all -- dresses, jewels, a riding horse, and a Steinway piano -- until she met and fell in love with Oswald Henshawe, a man her uncle, John Driscoll, hated. Despite the threat of disinheritance by Driscoll, Myra married Oswald. Nellie Birdseye, Myra's niece, narrates the poignant journey through a failing marriage and a woman's painful struggle with the internal conflict of its blame. This unforgettable novella, written in 1926 by Pulitzer Prize-winning author Willa Cather, offers a tragic depiction of the marriage paradox: how to reconcile youth's romantic exuberance with growing disillusionment, bitterness, and regret.<br><br><b>Author:</b> Willa Cather<br><b>Publisher:</b> Dover Publications<br><b>Published:</b> 05/17/2023<br><b>Pages:</b> 64<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>Weight:</b> 0.13lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 8.00h x 5.07w x 0.16d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9780486850863<p></p>
