Little Women / Louisa May Alcott / 469 pages / Deceased Author Challenge

Rave reviews go to this audio of the classic Little Women.  Performed by a cast of voices and accompanied by delightful music and vocal accompaniment, we are treated to a vivid portrait of New England at the time of the Civil War and the hardship of a father gone to the front; serious illness; and the foibles of growing up and romance for the four intrepid March sisters - Meg, Jo, Amy, and Beth.  The faith, generosity, family cohesiveness, desire to do the right thing, and ability to find happiness in a difficult time recommend this quick read to all in need of a pick me up or a return to a simpler, though not necessarily easier time.


This book was written by an American author born before the Civil War.
