A beautiful book written in a time and about a time that no longer exists, when learning how to sew, or getting married, are topics most women are interested in. Seen through the eyes of both Antonia and Jim. He travels through Nebraska, coming of age, then becoming a lawyer. But Antonia remains with the farm and its people. Scratching out survival on the Great Plains is both a tale of hardship as well as one of indomitable spirit and the seminal beauty of the tall grass. Antonia embodies the spirit of the plains and Jim draws strength from his reminiscences. Written by one of America's most distinguished writers, Willa Cather was awarded the Pulitzer Prize.
