"The Song of the Lark" by Willa Cather.
I found this in a bookstore when we were in Port Angeles. I've read some of her short stories but not any of her novels so was rather interested to see what one was like. Really rather good especially considering it was published in 1915. It's about the development of a talented young girl from Colorada farming area who becomes a very famous opera singer. Very advanced really for its take on the difficulty of women trying to do something non-traditional.
