a beautifully told tale

My Ántonia by Willa Cather
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

My Ántonia is a beautifully told tale of life on the prairies and small towns of southern Nebraska around the turn of the 20th century. The characters, plot and setting all come alive and leave the reader feeling as if they have taken a living part in the story. One can't help but feel strongly for characters who are so real and tangible. This is a moving and powerful story about real people in a real place and time. I come away from the story deeply moved, and feeling more alive for having taken part in their story. Wow, this novel definitely deserves its place on the must-read lists.
