Meg, Jo, Amy and Beth – four “little women” enduring hardships and enjoying adventures in Civil War New England The charming story of the March sisters, Little Women has been adored by generations. Readers have rooted for Laurie in his pursuit of Jo’s hand, cried over little Beth’s death, and dreamed of travelling through Europe with old Aunt March and Amy. Future writers have found inspiration in Jo’s devotion to her writing. In this simple, enthralling tale, both parts of which are included here, Louisa May Alcott has created four of American literature’s most beloved women.
Review
This read was was part of a classic A-Z group and was the book choice for February.
I found the writing easy to follow but the story just didn’t engage me and neither did some of the characters. Some of the scenes I had heard from others were quite emotional but I found them dull and just not emotionally hitting at all.
Not what I would call a bad read but certainly not one I found terribly enjoyable compared to some of the other classics I have read over time.
