The spirited daughter of Bohemian immigrants, Ántonia must adapt to a hard existence on the desolate prairies of the Midwest. Enduring childhood poverty, teenage seduction, and family tragedy, she eventually becomes a wife and mother on a Nebraska farm. A fictional record of how women helped forge the communities that formed a nation, My Ántonia is also a hauntingly eloquent celebration of the strength, courage, and spirit of America’s early pioneers.

Willa Cather

About the Author

Willa Cather (1873–1947) was a Pulitzer Prize–winning American novelist and short story writer. Cather often thwarted convention in her writing, choosing to avoid traditional stories with romance and heroes in favor of complex, striving women whose marriages and loves are secondary to their striving. Her distinguished regionalist writing includes her Great Plains trilogy (O Pioneers!, The Song of the Lark, and My Ántonia). Cather was survived by her long-time domestic partner and literary executor, Edith Lewis.
