About this listen

Willa Cather achieved recognition for her novels depicting American life on the prairie frontier. First published in 1918, My Ántonia is the riveting story of pioneers on the Nebraska frontier in the late 19th century. The tale focuses on Antonia Shimerda, daughter of an immigrant family from Bohemia, and Jim Burden, an orphaned boy from Virginia, who formed a lifelong friendship. O Pioneers! (1913), the first of Cather’s “prairie trilogy” of novels, is the saga of the Bergson family who came from Sweden to settle the farmland near the town of Hanover, Nebraska, at the end of the 20th century. The main characters include Alexandra Bergson and Carl Linstrum, Alexandra's brother, Emil, and Marie Shabata.

An American classic

If you want to learn about American settlers - the humble ones starting their new lives at rock bottom - Willa Cather's long story, My Antonia, will interest you with its many details of farming and domestic life.
The narrator makes quite a few mistakes in pronounciation which is surprising for two reasons: Andrea Giordani is a very competent reader in English so her mistakes jar. I wonder why these could not have been corrected by her producer.
The final recording has many interruptions which shoud have been cut : the narrator corrects herself and the first mistakes are left in.
Overall this spoilt the recording for me.
