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.

    While a tad too long, I enjoyed this book. I saw aspects of myself in nearly every character and resolved to be more like each of them as the chapters rolled on.

    Amazing book. It was heartbreaking in some parts, joyful in others. You can laugh with them, cry with them. It perfectly showcases the forever bond of family. I felt like I was right there with them the whole time. Would absolutely recommend!

    Found some parts interesting and engaging only to be followed by boring ones. This made reading hard and took me a long time. Last half better than first. Probably better as movie bc can cut out all of the droll stuff.

    I’ve seen every movie made based on this story and enjoyed each one. But, as always movies are never as good as the book. I enjoyed every word of this classic. I hated it to end.

    One can’t overlook the love for one another in this family. How can anyone’s life be so? But then in those days family was closer in most important ways.
