About the book
"One of Ours" by Willa Cather is a novel published in 1922 that won the Pulitzer Prize. It follows Claude Wheeler, a Nebraska farmer's son in the early twentieth century who struggles with a profound sense of restlessness and purposelessness despite his comfortable circumstances. Dissatisfied with farming, education, and a loveless marriage, Claude searches desperately for meaning—until World War I offers him an unexpected chance at transformation on the battlefields of France.
