5.0 out of 5 stars
A wonderful story, beautifully read
Jeff Cummings does a great job of reading the story. I believe he correctly pronounces Antonia, but - even if he doesn't - don't let that stop you from listening to a heartwarming story.

2.0 out of 5 stars
Major flaw from narrator
I had to stop listening to this recording, as the narrator consistently mispronouces "Antonia." He accents the 3rd syllable rather than the 1st syllable. Willa Cather even tells how the name should be pronounced in one of the early chapters (Chapter 3 I believe?). The Bohemian name "Antonia" places the accent on the first syllable, like the way we pronounce "Anthony"...

So I'll actually read the book instead of listening to it, as I've heard raves about it. |
