I love this book so dearly. The March sisters feel like friends that I’ve grown up with and can return to their company over and over. I find this book so comforting with lessons that that I need to hear (even 150 years after they were first written!) and find solace in. There’s always something new that surprises me every time I reread this book—whether it’s the humour, still-relevant views on feminism, heartfelt lessons, simple joys—there’s something about this book that calls you from the distractions of the world and makes you ponder what real happiness, work, sorrow and joy looks like for you. This remains an all-time favourite of mine.
