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.
Reviews
Great read
4By Nathaniel KeenerThough 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!
5By GratefulChildOfHisMuch 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

5By LTDLeahPThis Classic reminds us the quality of literature of the past. It lists the soul with fun storylines, beautiful characters, heartache and triumph, and great lessons for all of us.Mix of great with tedious
3By Mega Waffle11Found 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.Little Women 💕
5By MadrebanksI’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.Little Women
5By sometimers3One 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.📚❤️Best book ❤️📚
5By Duolingo slays 👏👏👏👏I love ❤️ this book so much and I think it’s one of the best books I’ve read in my entire life and it may be long but it’s worth it. One thing that I don’t like is that all the chapters are in Roman numerals and I think it takes as much time and effort to make It that way some people might not be able to read Roman numerals but all in all it’s a great book 📚. Thank you for listening to this review have a nice day.Little Women
