Great analysis, Brittney! I was totally blown away by Cather in this section. I usually struggle to be as invested in vignette style narratives, BUT I’m finding this one very compelling.
I also love your thoughts on the old world vs new world in the preface, and am interested to see how she carries out that theme and examines the interplay between culture and religion (I especially loved the way she does this with the Angelus bells from Spain in book 1).
I just finished Book 1 Monday and read some of Book 2 yesterday and I am LOVING it. I knew it wasn't super plot driven and I remember reading it slowly last time I read it, but this time I am enjoying every page!

Excited to have you as our guide :)
