My Ántonia - Willa Cather
4 out of 5 stars
I picked up this novel last summer while I was still in DC. And, in true Me fashion I just got around to reading it. I love this novel. I had never really considered what life on the prairie and out in the Nebraska back country would be like. Cather puts a lot of things into perspective from immigrant issues to expectations of women to basic survival on a harsh terrain. I now understand why this novel is a classic, and it has gained the label of being a "classic" on my bookshelf. I'm very hesitant to call a book a classic, simply because everyone else does. Now onto book #3 of the year: White Oleander.
