Description

An Apple Books Classic edition.

Meet the Marches! Louisa May Alcott’s classic introduces us to four unforgettable sisters: beautiful Meg, tomboyish Jo, delicate Beth, and Amy, the indulged youngest of the lot. With their father serving as a Union chaplain, the Marches help their devoted mother, Marmee, make ends meet as their fortunes dwindle. The book starts with the family performing a small act of kindness for a family even less fortunate than they are and expands from there, drawing us in as the March girls grow up-and experience joy, hardship, failure, heartbreak, success, and love.

Alcott’s novel draws from her own life story. She herself was one of four sisters who all struck out on different paths. Open the pages of >Little Women and fall into a world of innocence and generosity-one that you’ll want to return to again and again.

  • What happened with Laurie and Jo??

    By SketchyGoose
    It was a great read except for Laurie and Jo’s relationship.

    At first, they seemed perfect, which they were. They both had a fun-loving spirit and brought everyone together. Then, when Laurie confessed his feeling, Jo just shunned him. There was no reason for this. She could still have written and explored, just with Laurie while he courts her.

    Then he becomes sullen, naturally, and forms a strange, unsatisfying romance with Amy. There was nothing to show that Amy had ever been interested in Laurie and the same the other way. It just felt like Laurie was looking for a relationship and happened upon his former love’s sister.

    Then, when Jo realizes that she actually loves Laurie, it’s too late because he’s already married Amy. It felt the same as Laurie and Amy when Jo went searching for a new relationship with the professor.

    In the end, it was a delightful read, I felt the highs and the lows with the characters. However I cannot recommend it because of the dramatic, unsatisfying, turns it takes with Laurie and Jo’s friendship and relationship.

    Though this book was different from what I usually read, I’m very glad that I can now say that I’ve read it. Louisa May Alcott did a great job telling Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy’s stories, while also giving equal value to all of their aspirations regardless of how much they differ from one another’s. More men should consider reading this.
  • Amazing!

    Much deeper than the movie, Alcott portrays struggles of Jo and family as they rely on God in Civil War times. Great character development!
  • A great classic
