My Ántonia by Willa Cather

5.0

I read this book for class and I honestly didn’t think I would like it as much as I did. I typically have bad luck with older books and classics so I expected it to be quite boring. However, I actually really liked the characters and the story. I think Jim was a nice narrator and Antonia was a perfect main character. She had a lot of personality and it was easy to see why Jim was drawn to her. Lena and Tiny were also very interesting characters and I was glad that the book followed them into adulthood as well.
I also really liked the overall message of reminiscing on one’s childhood and being able to look back on it with fondness. Overall, this book was such a comforting read and made me feel the same way that I felt when I read Little House on the Prairie as a kid.
