My Antonia Review: Enjoyable Classic - Wonderful book even on the 2nd go round. I thoroughly enjoyed the turn of phrase and descriptions of the terrain and seasons. Great characters too! Review: The best parts of this book - I read My Antonia in an attempt to catch up on important classics in American literature. After finishing it, I can see why it has deserved lasting popularity. It brings the reader close to the immigrant experience, and the pioneer experience, exploring the lives of early settlers in Nebraska, around the 1880's or so. It was published in 1918. The best parts of this book, for me, were the lyrical descriptions of nature, the seasons, and the way that these impact human emotions. Consider this description of the seasons in a small Plains town: "Winter lies too long in country towns; hangs on until it is stale and shabby, old and sullen. On the farm the weather was the great fact, and men's affairs went on underneath it, as the streams creep under the ice. But in Black Hawk the scene of human life was spread out shrunken and pinched, frozen down to the bare stalk." Lovely! This is a true modernist book, in that there isn't a lot of plot. Rather, the book moves forward through episodes, much as life does. I'm not sure that Willa Cather's decision to tell her story (which is based on her own childhood) in the voice of a man really works. I kept forgetting that the narrator was supposed to be male. Although I was tempted to stop reading in the middle, because my modern self objected to the lack of an elegant plot, I was really glad to have finished it. I enjoyed the roundedness of the novel, and the way it described not just individual people but an entire community, and the changes that occurred over several decades on the Great Plains themselves. You get a sense of scope from the novel. And it certainly made me want to see the beauty of Nebraska for myself some day. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B08DDYXLD1 | | Best Sellers Rank | #92,596 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #277 in Classic Literature & Fiction #1,046 in Coming of Age Fiction (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (7,086) | | Dimensions | 5 x 0.42 x 8 inches | | ISBN-13 | 979-8669541828 | | Item Weight | 15.2 ounces | | Language | English | | Print length | 166 pages | | Publication date | July 26, 2020 | | Publisher | Independently published | ## Images ![My Antonia - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61Y4Hi4qB2L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Enjoyable Classic *by E***E on November 10, 2025* Wonderful book even on the 2nd go round.

It is about farm and town life in Nebraska near the end of the Nineteenth Century. The story is told through a male narrator and Antonia is a central figure throughout. Willa Cather made me love both this title character and the novel. I have been reading Willa Cather novels in chronological order. This is the third of the so call Prairie Trilogy. I have found that these stories are not depended on each other and each can be read independently. I did enjoy all of them very much and am glad to have read all of them. I would say this is my favorite, however I liked all of them, and also particularly enjoyed "The Song Of The Lark". "The Song Of The Lark" is set in Colorado and the characters are different. It is markedly lengthier than "My Antonia". I read this particular novel while at the same time listening to an audiobook narrated by Jeff Cummings. Antonia and others are native Europeans. Mr. Cummings was excellent and used accents that really added to my enjoyment of the reading experience. I feel I have a mediocre inner narrator and a professional narrator often adds to my personal reading enjoyment. However, Miss Cather carefully paints portraits of scenery with words. When I arrive at such a point, I stop and carefully read the words at my own pace and take my time to picture the landscape. As a possible aside, I would like to mention that Willa Cather also authored one of the most poignant short stories that I have ever read. It is "Paul's Case". It is a short story, but it is not brief. It is set in Pittsburgh.
