| So many different published versions! |
We are currently reading Little Women by Louisa
May Alcott.
This is a true classic
that we hope will inspire all our members to pick up the book, read it and come
along to discuss their thoughts and feelings on Tuesday 13th March. We
are expecting many different variations of dust cover/jacket and that, in
itself, will be a point for discussion.
Little Women is set
in America in the 1800s. Mr March has gone to war, leaving his penniless family
at home: his wife, a caring and benevolent women who knows her daughters inside
out, Meg, the eldest daughter who is mature and sensible of their situation,
Jo, the daughter who longs to be a boy but tries her best to get along with
everyone, Beth, quiet but beautiful and who makes the tiniest thing seem like a
great excitement and Amy, the youngest, naughty but loveable.
This book takes us through
the joy and sadness of a poor family and you are drawn in from the first page.
It is very inspiring as well as emotional and it is a lovely story.
