We had a lively book discussion this afternoon. We talked about several ideas and themes, including the novel's introduction, style, tone, setting, and characters. We thought that the novel gave a realistic view of the hardships faced by new immigrants and farmers on the prairie. We enjoyed Cather's vivid descriptions; we shared favorite parts of the book with one another. Everyone liked the book, and some said that reading Cather's My Antonia made them want to go back and read the American classics. The library has Cather's works and many more classics. If you don't find something on the shelf, ask a staff member to search other library catalogs.
Our next book discussion is on Tuesday, April 22, at 7:00 p.m. Hope to see you there!
