Description: Widely recognized as Willa Cather's finest book and one of the outstanding novels of American literature, My Antonia deals with the life of Bohemian immigrants and native American settlers in the vast frontier farmlands of Nebraska. It is a work particularly noted for its lucid and moving depiction of the prairie and the lives of those who live there. Kathryn Yarman's narration brings this masterwork even greater spirit.
