Description
Claude Wheeler is the son of a successful Nebraskan farmer and a very devout mother. Heโs sent to a private religious college because his mother feels itโs safer, but he yearns for State college where he might be able expand his knowledge of the real world. Claude doesnโt feel comfortable in any situation, and almost every step he takes is a wrong one. While heโs struggling to find his way in a questionable marriage, the U.S. decides to enter World War I, and Claude enlists. Heโs commissioned as a lieutenant, and he and his outfit are deployed to France in the waning months of the war. There Claude finds the purpose heโs been missing his whole life.
One of Ours is Catherโs first novel following the completion of her Prairie Trilogy, which she finished before the U.S. had entered the war. Catherโs cousin Grosvenor had grown up on the farm next to hers, had many of the traits she gave to Claude, and, like her protagonist, went with the Army to France towards the end of the war. After the war was over, she felt compelled to write something different than the novels she had become known for, saying that this one โstood between me and anything else.โ Although today itโs not considered her best work, the novel won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1923.
