Little Women

Little Women

by Louisa May Alcott
Love. Tragedy. Sisters.

Growing up in New England during the Civil War, the March sisters share everything — their joys and troubles, their loves and secrets. But the four girls couldn't be more different. Meg, the oldest, is the sensible writer. Jo is funny and mischievous. Beth is the shy, dreamy one, and Amy is pretty and artistic.

From dances to despairs, through weddings and funerals, the March girls stand as sisters.

This is one family you will never forget.
