3.0

“My Ántonia” is a beautiful story about a young Bohemian woman’s life on Nevada plains, as told by Jim, her childhood friend. What made part of the book so compelling to me is Cather’s introduction in the beginning, as she tells a brief backstory of what and who inspired the book. I enjoyed the pacing of the book and it was wonderfully written, but it did fall stale for me at one point. I would probably recommend “O Pioneers!” which is another Cather story told in a similar manner before I recommend “My Ántonia”
