Four sisters and their mother at home. The story tells of how the sisters grow up, find love and find their place in the world. Their father is fighting in the Civil War. Louisa May Alcott semi-autobiographical novel has captured young women and the young at heart for years. Little Women was an immediate commercial and critical success, with readers demanding to know more about the characters.

This is the edition we had in Kimberly, and the first time I read Little Women.
