by Willa Cather
This novel is set somewhere in the Midwest and chronicles the story of young Jim Burden. Bohemian neighbours move to America and live nearby, and My Ántonia tells of how the children grow up together. The Bohemians speak little English, so the Burdens help them, as well as aiding them in surviving the winters. Ántonia (or Tony) is Jim Burden's little friend. Tony is a few years older than Jim, but they still watch out for each other.
Quite honestly, I didn't really understand the point of this story. It was sweet, but I'd rather not have read it. Not quite as slow as Siddhartha, My Ántonia took me long enough to read as it was.
