My Ántonia

Jim Burdens endearing, infatuated voice guides us through the remarkable vicissitudes of immigrant life in the Nebraska heartland. Guiding the way are some of the literatures most beguiling characters: The Russian brothers plagued by memories of a fateful sleigh ride, Antonias desperately homesick father and self-indulgent mother, and Lena Lingard, the coy object of Jim's affection. Holding the pastoral society's heart is Antonia.
