A to Z Reading Challenge: A title that begins with the letter L.
Not a bad listen, although “Little Women” is my favorite so far.

Complicated
A series of cloyingly moralistic tales from Jo's school of wayward boys, where love & kindness are all that's needed to create fine upstanding gentlemen.
What a delight to dip back into the world of Jo March (now Bhaer) and discover how he life with the Professor and their school for boys in Plumfield turned out. While it would be impossible to top my love for Little Women, I did thoroughly enjoy being back in this world and seeing how life turned out for Jo.
This is a book of its time and some of the comments and narrative reflect this, I.e. discussions of the native Indians in America and how the pilgrims “triumphed”, the role of girls and boys in society, killing of animals etc. if you can take overlook this and understand that it was appropriate for its time it is a lovely vignette of stories and gives good context of what life would have been like in the late 19th century.
I particularly enjoyed the character of Nan, the little girl who fancied herself a doctor, twins Daisy & Demi, Tommy Bangs, and the arc of Dan, the troubled child who comes “good”. Overall a lovely reminder of letting children be children and finding their place in the world.

I don't think this is as good as Little Women or Good Wives, but still liked to see what was happening to the characters.
