By Willa Cather.
Through the admiring eyes of a young boy, we learn about the harsh life on the Nebraska's prairies at the end of the 19th century. The center of his attention is a young Bohemian immigrant girl, Antonia. The struggles of this feisty young woman bring to life the hardships faced by new immigrants and their stubbornness to make it in th new land. What I like so much in this book, is the boy's warmth and love toward the immigrants that sweep the readers deep into the book.
