Little Women; Or, Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy
Louisa May Alcott
About this book
In a modest New England home during the Civil War, the four March sisters—sensible Meg, tomboyish Jo, gentle Beth, and spirited Amy—grow from girls into women. Under their mother Marmee's wise guidance and with their father away at war, they face poverty with humor and grace, forge unlikely friendships with their wealthy neighbor Laurie, and discover that the truest riches are found in family, love, and character. From Christmas sacrifices and amateur theatricals to heartbreak, illness, and marriage, Little Women traces the full arc of girlhood into womanhood with warmth, wit, and unflinching emotional honesty.
