Synopsis:

In rural Nebraska on the late-19th-century frontier, Jim Burden recalls his childhood after being sent west from Virginia to live with his grandparents. He befriends Ántonia Shimerda, the spirited daughter of newly arrived Bohemian immigrants, and their lives unfold against the stark beauty and hardships of the prairie. Through Jim’s memories—of family, work, loss, and the immigrant experience—the novel traces Ántonia’s resilience and enduring vitality as both friends grow up, drift apart, and eventually reconnect. The story is a portrait of friendship and coming of age, and a tribute to the land and the people who shaped it.
Story has a timeline of events in the front of the book.
