Little Women by Louisa May Alcott

5.0

“Oh, my girls, however long you may live, I never can wish you a greater happiness than this!” 

In this delicate little tale, Louisa May Alcott artfully weaves boyhood, passion, trials and triumphs, family and friendships. The story follows the March sisters - Margaret, Josephine, Elizabeth and Amy as they maneuver childhood, tackle adolescence and settle into adulthood. They are surrounded delightful characters of family and friends whose presence taught little lessons all throughout. 

In this hearty tale, we meet so many wonderful characters beside the girls, the youthful Laurie, the wonderful old man Laurence, grumpy Aunt March, patient Mr March and kind soul Mrs March. We have Hannah, John and Frederick. We have the next generation of the March girls. Every character embodied flaws and perfections and each became so dear to me. It felt like I have see old friends prosper as I finished this book and a gave me immense satisfaction.
