My Antonia by Willa Cather

5.0

I listened to this as an audiobook and repeatedly rewound it to rehear passages that were just so beautifully written I wanted to truly absorb them. Cather's descriptions of the land, struggles, and people genuinely make you feel like you are there. While I had other characters that were more a favorite including Lina, I appreciated the fullness of the narrator/male character Jim as so often I am finding from authors today that male characters are somewhat hollow and he was so fleshed out especially his young and teenage self that I think all authors should read this book as a master class. :-)
