Little Women
by Louisa May Alcott
This was my first read of this classic, and I was absolutely enchanted from start to finish.
Let me start by saying that this is a lengthy read, but a worthwhile one. It took me around 2 months to go through it as I used it as my bedtime read, meaning just a few pages a day. And I didn't want it to ever end. There's so much happening as you go through the story of the lovely little family, and you get so invested in their lives and growth that it doesn't feel unnecessarily long.
The topics sometimes touch on faith and morality, which is usually not my cup of tea. This was however rare, and made sense in the context of the hardships the family goes through, such as war, poverty, illness and death. There's plenty of representation for strong, brave characters, all in their unique way, and all appreciated for what they are rather than forced into the standards of the time or uniformity. This is what I appreciated most about the story.
I'm glad I ended up reading this book after all. It was a refreshing and beautiful experience.
