Once more I made the mistake of waiting too long before reviewing and now I find myself with little to say. However, My Antonia is on my Classics Club reading list and thus must be reviewed. Perhaps I can use the classical homework trick of trying to distract you from my shallow writing by showing pictures of cute animals? Just look at those adorable sheep! I’m almost certain that there were some sheep in the novel somewhere…
It is unfortunate that I will have to do such a poor job reviewing this novel as it was one of my favourite reads this summer. The descriptions were beautiful, but without bogging down the text, and the characters felt alive and well worth knowing. I also really liked how the novel focused on the immigrant experience. As Sweden had a very high US emigration per capita I have heard much about the emigration from a Swedish perspective and really enjoyed seeing it from the US side. After having read O Pioneers! last summer and My Antonia this summer, Willa Cather is quickly becoming one of my favourite classical US authors.
I read that in a book 
LOL. I have only read this one by her and love it for the same reasons you give. I want to read more. The book has arresting descriptions of the landscape, and the characters are worth knowing, well written.

I definitely plan to read more from her too, perhaps I should make it into a summer tradition.

That’s surely a good idea. Her books are not too long, which I like.

I’ve never read anything by her, but this does look intriguing (sheep or no sheep!) 😉

Always love a picture of sheep! I haven’t read any Willa Cather yet, but certainly will after all the great things I’ve heard from The Classics Club and now by you too! Would this be a good one to start with?

I have only read two of them but yes, I do think My Antonia would be a good place to start. It is freely available from Poject Gutenberg if you don’t mind ebooks.
