It's been quite a while since I read a classic. I kind of liked it...pretty slow going, but it did have lovely descriptions of Nebraska scenery, it was interesting learning about the history of that area of the country, and I liked the narrator, Jim Burden. The young women, immigrants to the American West, make their way in this country to various success. Ántonia, especially, symbolizes the ups and downs of their hard life. Glad I read it, ready to move on to modern times.
