strong and beautiful
woman & sister & friend &
my Antonia

This book is beautiful and visceral and made me want to be a homesteader.

Sadly, I failed to send myself an email with more thoughts, and it’s fallen victim to a Books Finished backlog, but I remember walking around in a daze after finishing it, just wishing I could live in the book forever. It wasn’t always soft – life was hard and sometimes people were harsh – but it was loving and familiar and I will definitely have to read this book again and attempt to capture more.
