About this audiobook
A young girl from a small railroad town in Colorado discovers a voice that will carry her to the greatest opera houses of the world. The novel meticulously traces Thea Kronborg's artistic development, emphasizing the ruthlessness and isolation required to nurture a rare talent. Cather draws a parallel between the discipline of the artist and the ancient, silent strength of the cliff-dweller ruins where Thea finds inspiration. It is a definitive story of the artist's struggle to rise above the commonplace.
