Description
An Old-Fashioned Girl by Louisa May Alcott is a timeless tale of friendship, love, and self-discovery from the beloved author of Little Women. When country girl Polly Milton visits her wealthy friend Fanny Shaw for the summer, she steps into a world where appearances reign supreme, and the pressure to conform is overwhelming. In her modest dresses and with her genuine heart, Polly stands apart in a society obsessed with status and style. Yet, it’s this very difference that endears her to those around her, even to Fanny’s occasionally frustrating but secretly kind-hearted brother, Tom. Over six years, Polly’s annual visits serve as a gentle challenge to the Shaw family’s values and a quiet rebellion against superficiality. But as Polly grows, so does the tension between her old-fashioned ideals and the societal pressures to fit in, building to a powerful journey of self-worth and resilience. This beautifully written novel, rich with Alcott’s signature warmth and wisdom, will resonate with anyone who has ever felt the pull between being true to oneself and fitting in. With its heartfelt lessons, An Old-Fashioned Girl is a book that belongs on every bookshelf—don’t miss the chance to experience Polly’s inspiring story!
