    About this ebook

    Willa Cather’s My Mortal Enemy is a poignant character study of an extraordinary woman of commanding personality named Myra who gives up a fortune to marry for love. But was it the right choice? In her portrait of Myra and in her exquisitely nuanced depiction of her marriage, Cather shows the evolution of a human spirit as it comes to bridle against the constraints of ordinary happiness and seeks an otherworldly fulfillment.
