Jim Burden, an orphaned boy sent to live with his grandparents, and Antonia Shimerda, the daughter of Bohemian immigrants, meet on the Nebraska prairie as young children. Jim harbors romantic feelings for Antonia, but nothing ever develops as different paths cause them to spend most of their lives apart. Jim goes on to become a successful lawyer, while Antonia's life is full of trying hardships. Jim continues to think of Antonia throughout his adulthood, and the life story of this strong, resilient pioneer woman unfolds as Jim gathers bits and pieces of her story from mutual acquaintances. ~ Enh

Publisher's Description of My Antonia
Ántonia Shimerda returns to Black Hawk, Nebraska, to make a fresh start after eloping with a railway conductor following the tragic death of her father. Accustomed to living in a sod house and toiling alongside the men in the fields, she is unprepared for the lecherous reaction her lush sensuality provokes when she moves to the city. Despite betrayal and crushing opposition, Ántonia steadfastly pursues her quest for happiness—a moving struggle that mirrors the quiet drama of the American landscape.
