Description
This is the story of Rose, a rich but lonely and sickly girl who has been recently orphaned and sent to live with her maiden aunts. When Rose’s guardian, Uncle Alec, returns from abroad he takes over her care. Through his unorthodox theories about child-rearing and her exposure to the exploits of her seven male cousins and numerous aunts, Rose becomes happier and healthier, cured of many of her fears and prejudices. She also makes friends with Phebe, her aunts’ maid of her own age, whose cheerful attitude in the face of poverty helps to illustrate to Rose her own good fortune.

5By Hollyolly9192This and it's sequel, "Rose in bloom," are my favorite Louisa May Alcott books! Definitely neatly worth reading if you are a fan of this sort of literature!Eight Cousins
5By thebeautyoflife27This book was truly beautiful, and life inspiring. It taught me that no matter how wrong your life may be going, there will always be a brighter way out. And I fell in love with Rose's character, as it is very similar to mine. It was quite humorous at times, and some twists at the end made it all the better. One of the best stories I've read in my life. So, you should read it too : ).Eight cousins
5By It-Ir-BritA classic I keep coming back to again and again 😍Eight Cousins by Louisa May Alcott
5By Pitty Pat GamerGrowing up I loved two of her books Little Women & Little Men. Little Men inspired me to be a hopefully kind teacher. I would not have known about Eight Cousins if it weren't for Good Reads. This book is about love and freedom to choose. It is a good book and a quick read.Eight Cousins

5By CoraArtThis is a wonderful book. It is sure to make you laugh at the antics of the seven boys a the trouble they are able to get themselves in. It is a good book to read for both sexes.
