A review by dawnackroyd
Little Women by Louisa May Alcott

4.0

Much to my mother's surprise, I have always been a bit of a classics rebel. I picked this one up for book club and must say, I'm glad I did. I borrowed a tattered old copy from one of my nieces - which seemed appropriate and added to the nostalgia of this story.

I'm sure I'll have more to say after our book club discussion. These are my thoughts so far:

The feminist part of me bristled at a lot of it, but there is something lovely and magical about it that kept me reading....kind of like Anne of Green Gables. My husband, on the other hand, has it on his 'Books I Regret Reading' list. LOL I did appreciate the cautious approach to marriage and the idea that it isn't the answer to everything. Apparently, Louisa herself was fiercely independent and never did marry.

I've never watched any of the movies. I think I should!
