Set in rural Nebraska, Willa Cather’s My 聲tonia is both the story of an enduring friendship and a brilliant portrayal of the lives of rural pioneers in the late-nineteenth century.

聲tonia and her family are from Bohemia and they must endure real hardship and loss to establish a new home in America. But 聲tonia is never broken by adversity, and her strength and love of life stays with her childhood friend Jim for years to come, even as he leaves home to study and pursue his career. Told through Jim’s eyes, My 聲tonia is a rich and beautiful novel about childhood and growing up, different cultures and the lure of home.

This edition has an afterword by Bridget Bennett and original illustrations by W. T. Benda.
