Willa Cather
The Prairie Trilogy is a series of three novels centered around life in the Midwest during the late 19th/early 20th centuries by Pulitzer Prize-winning author Willa Cather. First, in "O Pioneers!," we meet Alexandra Bergson, who inherits the family farm after her father dies and leaves her to care for her three siblings. While many immigrant families are giving up their farms and moving back to the city (or to their home countries), Alexandra decides to try to tough it out on the prairie. Next, in "The Song of the Lark" we are introduced to Thea Kronborg, a Colorado piano teacher who discovers she has an amazing singing voice and, despite the long odds, attempts to become a world-renowned opera star. Finally, in "My Antonia," we follow the lives of two protagonists: orphan Jim Burden, who is shipped off to Nebraska to live with his grandparents after his parents die, and Ántonia, a young farm girl who is struggling to survive raise her family out of poverty. Three of the most celebrated novels of the mid-twentieth century, the novels comprising "The Prairie Trilogy" helped cement Willa Cather as one of the most important writers of her generation.

The reader has an expressive voice and in many ways does well. In fact, I don't blame the defects of the performance on her. Instead I have to fault the production director, whoever they may be. The reader/narrator can't be expected to know everything and do everything perfectly. So, for example, she mispronounces the opera Lohengrin as "lonnagrin." Does nobody in charge of the production take responsibility for such things? That flaw in the production is inexcusable. Audible books have this problem from time to time. In this case the problem language seems to be German, which is clearly not the reader's strong suit. I have heard other Audible books that are loaded with Spanish words and names, and Audible has chosen a reader who can't pronounce Spanish at all. Shape up, Audible! This reader is not so bad as that. The mistakes could have been corrected so they don't jump out at you.
