My Ántonia (Signature Editions)
The spirited daughter of Bohemian immigrants, Ántonia must adapt to a hard existence on the desolate prairies of the Midwest. Enduring childhood poverty, teenage seduction, and family tragedy, she eventually becomes a wife and mother on a Nebraska farm. A fictional record of how women helped forge the communities that formed a nation, My Ántonia is also a hauntingly eloquent celebration of the strength, courage, and spirit of America's early pioneers.

We listened to this audiobook on one of our many drives. It was a charming tale of small town and rural life in Nebraska, one presumes in the late 19th century (originally published 1918). The characters are lovingly drawn and mostly likable [except for Mrs Shimerda] and it's fun to see the friendships forged in childhood being revisited during adult years.
