Meet Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy March: four sisters growing up in New England during the Civil War, with their father away at war and money always tight. Meg longs for pretty things and a comfortable life. Jo wants to be a writer. Beth is happiest at home with her music, and Amy dreams of being an artist and moving in elegant circles.
Over the years we follow them through winters by the fire, plays in the attic, a friendship with the boy next door, ambitions chased and set aside, love found in unexpected places, and loss that changes everything. Through it all, their mother Marmee guides them with warmth and wisdom.
First published in 1868, Little Women has stayed beloved for more than 150 years because it feels so true. It’s a book you can read at twelve and again at forty and find something new every time.
Perfect for curling up with this winter, reading along with a friend, or gifting to someone who hasn’t met the March sisters yet!
