Writer: Louisa Alcott
Genre: Children's book/Classic
Go ahead and tease me if you want but I still like reading children's books and from the past many days I wanted to read an English classic. What better book than Little women!
The story of the March family has been told and retold for years but yet manages to keep new and old readers glued. Meg, Jo, Beth and Amy are sisters who lead a poor but happy life along with their mother and maid Hannah. Mr. March is away, fighting a war. The girls soon become close friends with their neighbor Laurie and the fivesome have a blast in spite of their economic differences. They fight with each other but realize that they can’t live without each other; they crib about their poverty but learn that there are many other things that matter more than money. Repeated plot, did you say? Yeah it is, but it started here and the simplicity of the narration is probably very enticing.
Said to be the author's biography where Jo is modeled against herself, Alcott manages to create a beautiful portrait thru her writing.
And yeah, this book is just the first part. The second part is named 'Good Wives' and is set in the teenage years of the girls.
