The Lost Summer of Louisa May Alcott
by Kelly O'Connor McNees
I read Little Women and Little Men but it's just been so long I can barely remember them! I think it may be time to rectify that and read them to my daughters. At any rate, despite not remembering much of the story, I still enjoyed this novel about a summer in the life of Louisa May Alcott in which she falls in love. She's torn between a good young man and her strong desire to be independent and write and live the life she's always wanted to live -- and she's sure that cannot happen within marriage. It's obvious the story cannot end with a "happy ending" of marriage, since we know she died never having married, but it's enjoyable to go into Alcott's inner life and think she may have had the chance to know a great love. McNees did her research and does a good job (it seems!) giving us a look into Louisa's personality and desires.
