"No romantic novel ever written in America, by man or woman, is one half so beautiful as My Ántonia."
100 anniversary edition with introduction by Jane Smiley
In this symphonically powerful and magnificently observed novel, Willa Cather created one of the most winning heroines in American fiction, a woman whose robust high spirits and calm, undemonstrative strength make her emblematic of the virtues Cather most admired in her country. We first meet Ántonia Shimerda as the young daughter of a Bohemian immigrant who in time will be driven to suicide by the oceanic loneliness of life on the Nebraska prairie. Through the eyes of Jim Burden, her tutor and disappointed admirer, we follow Ántonia from farm to town and through hardships both natural and human, surviving everything from poverty to a failed romance-and not only surviving, but triumphing.
In the end Ántonia is exactly what Burden says she is: a woman who "had that something which fires the imagination, [a woman who] could . . . stop one's breath for a moment by a look or gesture that somehow revealed the meaning in common things."
The purchase of this book helps support The Willa Cather Foundation and keeping her legacy alive.

Perfect amount of sweet and heat!
I gave it 4 stars because when I received the wind-chime, I had to put it back together. The chains all came apart. Not that big of a deal. Just a tad annoying. It's a birthday gift so I wanted it to be perfect!!! Love the slug bugs!!
The cake was okay but didn’t have as much taste as I’d expected. We ate it (with ice cream) but it is not one I would buy again.
Adore this sticker!!! Well made and shipped super fast
It is grown by my cousin and husband! It is definitely worth buying and having it shipped to us in SC! Thank you!🤗❤️
Loved it! It was a huge hit at our Pink Out celebration!
I’ve searched for a long time to find a Belgian waffle mix that delivers that distinct restaurant-quality crispness, and Heartland Gourmet Belgian Waffle Mix finally checks all the boxes. The waffles come out golden with that perfect crisp on the edges while staying soft and fluffy inside. It is the closest I have come to recreating that classic Belgian waffle taste and texture at home, and it is absolutely worth it.
Such a user friendly, mom friendly, easy to do cookbook either recipes that make dinner a breeze! Lots of good go to's! My husband is THE pickiest eater and every recipe so far he has loved! And makes for beautiful countertop display!
Beautiful photos, readable recipes, and delicious results! Makes a terrific gift, too.
Friends in Alaska from Nebraska going without Dorothy, supply chain gets bad in the winter up there. Pleasantly surprised at the low shipping cost. This made for big smiles and friendship perks👍
