Book Description:

Willa Cather, winner of the Pulitzer Prize, considered My Antonia to be one of her best works, and critic H.L. Mencken claimed it was one of the best American novels ever written. Published in 1918, the novel compassionately and intimately traces the story of a Bohemian family as they settle on the Great Plains in Nebraska. This American classic is still lauded internationally by scholars and everyday readers.

first read this book back in high school and i wanted to re-read it to gain a better appreciation for it. starts out strong, but the storyline gets weaker and less interesting, in my opinion, as you progress thru the book. beautiful writing, tho

Very nice book. I have family from Nebraska that lived there around this time and it reminded me of some of the stories I use to hear.
