![]() After that, she goes back to the country and never lives in the city again. And that’s a decade or so after her father dies. She plans a wedding with a longtime sweetheart but gets jilted and left pregnant. First, Antonia moves from the country to the city several years after her father dies, and a long time before there is ever any mention of a railway conductor. Despite obstacles, however, she struggles toward happiness.Īnyone who has read this book might wonder what in the world this description is about. Once she’s back, she’s “unprepared for the lecherous reaction her lush sensuality provokes” because of the toiling country life she’s used to. My book cover tells me that Antonia Shimerda elopes with a railway conductor after her father’s tragic death, and later comes back to the city. I got an unusual lesson in “Never judge a book by its cover” while reading My Antonia. ![]()
