O Pioneers! tells the story of the Bergsons, a family of Swedish immigrants in the farm country near the fictional town of Hanover, Nebraska, at the turn of the 20th century.

The book is a timeless story about life on the frontier. The theme of love, tragedy, and redemption is good for all to hear. The distraction was the narrator, he was not smooth and should have avoided trying to do any accents. Every time is started to listen I almost shut it off because of the reading but the story drew me in. Re-recording would be a recommendation.
