Excellent! Enjoyed it much more than Oh, Pioneer! Not that that one was bad, but this one was just...better. it was very interesting, viewing Antonia solely through Jim's eyes. You love her as he loves her. So glad she wound up with the life she did. Seems really nice (as either Lena or Tiny said, I forget which, not for me but seems like fun.) There was some random, totally out of place racism. I mean I know the book was written in the early 20th century but geez. It just came out of nowhere and made me cringe. Aside from that, this was an excellent read, with some lovely lyrical writing in spots.
