A review by katiegilley
My Antonia by Willa Cather
5.0
Reread in 2021 and still feel the same way! It was interesting to look at this book through a social justice lens. I think the book lends itself to being a great choice for a book club to read... and I miss my old "Finer Things Club" gang at the University of Texas!

I read this book for a bookclub at work (we're creating our own "Finer Things Club", like from The Office). I was a bit apprehensive, but that was totally undeserved. This was a wonderful story about life on the Plains of Nebraska. If you loved the Little House on the Prairie series, then I think you'd love this book as well. The story is told through Jim, who befriends Antonia when they are young. The both have hard lives and take completely different paths as they grow, but that never changes the love and the admiration that they have for each other and all of their memories together. This is truly a touching, heart warming story and I would definitely recommend it
