Willa Cather's lyrical and bittersweet nov el of a middle-aged man losing control of his life is a brilliant study in emotional dislocation and renewal. \;
\nProfessor Godfrey St. P eter is a man in his fifties who has devoted his life to his work\, his wi fe\, his garden\, and his daughters\, and achieved success with all of the m. But when St. Peter is called on to move to a new\, more comfortable hou se\, something in him rebels. And although at first that rebellion consist s of nothing more than mild resistance to his family's wishes\, it imperce ptibly comes to encompass the entire order of his life. \;The Prof essor's House \;combines a delightful grasp of the social and dom estic rituals of a Midwestern university town in the 1920s with profound s piritual and psychological introspection.
