About this book
Willa Cather's *My Ántonia* follows Jim Burden's recollections of Ántonia Shimerda, a Bohemian immigrant girl, as both come of age on the Nebraska prairie in the late nineteenth century. Readers drawn to American frontier fiction and character-driven literary novels will find it rewarding. Note: the catalogue lists 2008 as first published, but the novel was originally published in 1918; 2008 is likely a reprint edition.
