It’s no small task to tackle “Little Women” by Louisa May Alcott right as it enters the public domain. “The Other March Sisters” takes a much-beloved novel and protagonist and expands this universe with reality, where reality may be very unwelcome. I struggled with the first big of this book and then grew to appreciate it more as I settled in. I particularly enjoyed the expansion of Meg’s story as I always found her marriage to John Brooke immensely dissatisfying.
I wish the authors’ note was at the beginning instead of the incendiary “dear reader” note. That sets the tone for the book better and provides the reader with context about how much care the authors put into this writing.
Thank you, NetGalley, for the ARC in exchange for my honest review.
