My Ántonia by Willa Cather
5.0
The story Antonia, a Czech girl,is told through the eyes of her younger friend. He spends his whole life loving and admiring her despite her struggles and failures. He sees her triumphs.
Antonia despite her spirit and talents does not become rich and famous and laudable by the world's standards. She has many children, one before she is married. In some ways people would say she follows the path of her mother, but in actuality, she breaks with her mother's path. Antonia, unlike her whining and snatching mother, forges forward working hard and emotionally supporting her husband and children. When the story ends, in her mid forties, she is found physically worn, but emotionally sound. She has lifted her family out of both financial and emotional poverty. She has broken the cycle of depression that ruled her brother's and parents' lives and created a home of love and peace.
