Description: A coming of age tale of a lifelong friendship between two people of different cultures, My Antonia, is considered Willa Cather’s most beloved novel. Like O Pioneers (1913) and Song of the Lark (1915), the last installment of the Nebraska trilogy entwines the strong, enduring settlers of the late 1800s with the endlessness of the American plains to create a story of characters who live close to the land, drawing their strength and building their personalities from the natural scenery around them. Atypical of early twentieth century fiction, My Antonia is about simple immigrants, struggling to eke out a living on the western plains.
