Living in poverty, their father gone to war, the March girls have only their mother--and themselves...

Meg''s romantic, energetic, ready to start a family of her own; Beth''s introspective, peaceful, afraid of everything except her dolls and music; Amy''s beautiful, artistic, determined to live among the rich and famous; Jo''s arrogant, hot-tempered, funny, a writer who keeps pet rats and detests being a girl.

They love each other, hate each other, fight with, scold, nag, tease, and protect each other, through days of joyous triumph and dark tragedy. For each girl, in her heart, knows she has something more precious than money: Sisters.

    Every young girl should read this

    I loved this book as a young girl and as an adult it still stands up. Not much really needs to be said about this book other than that every young girl should read this.

    Better when I was younger…

    I remember really enjoying this book when I read it as a girl, so I thought it might be time to read it again. I just couldn’t seem to enjoy it as much this time around. Yes, it was the same sweet and charming story I remember, but somehow it seems too sweet and charming this time. Perhaps such innocence and goodness just isn’t believable for a jaded adult in the modern world. It was still worth the read.

    Classic, yet still relevant

    I had always claimed this book to be a childhood favourite, but realized I barely remembered it as years passed, so I picked it up again this month. It is as good as I remember, Part 1 being especially fulfilling. Full of loads of good advice delivered from mother to daughters, the many themes of this book (love, family, class) feel just as relevant today as they must have 140 years ago when the book was written. I would recommend this book to anyone who is looking to first start reading the classics, as the language is really accessible (although make sure you buy a softcover version as at 500+ pages it was quite cumbersome to carry around the hardcover!). My only complaint is that the book feels a bit wishy-washy in some parts, but I'm sure this is simply a result of the societal restrictions of the time in which it was written.

    Little Women

    This book takes me back to when, as a young girl of twelve, I read to my younger sister hours on end. Without the lure of television, we were drawn into and fascinated by the lives of four sisters, Meg, Jo, Amy, and Beth, who to us led wonderful, exciting lives while growing up in New England during the civil war. The book had an enormous impact on our imaginations, but even more it was a story of a daughter's dilemma; the tension between female obligations and artistic freedom. The story touches a spot in many women's hearts, and has been a great influence on the writings of such noted authors as Joyce Carol Oats and Virginia Woolf.
