Trade ReviewI know I will remember this book for years to come and it will always feel as if it were almost yesterday that I read it, as it is a
book to treasure and keep on a dusty bookshelf to pass on for generations -- Dewdrop * Guardian *
I try to get every girly girl to read this one because those four sisters are so real. Everybody's favourite is Jo, the tomboy who wants to be a writer -- Jacqueline Wilson
Deals with life's big questions - love and death, war and peace, and ambition versus family responsibility - in a way that is
inspiring and realistic. Use a hankie as a bookmark -
tears are guaranteed * Marie Claire *
The book is not so much a novel, in the Henry James sense of the term, as a sort of wad of themes and scenes and cultural wishes. It is more like the Mahabharata or the Old Testament than it is like a novel. And that makes it an
extraordinary novel * New Yorker *
Alcott's writing was
elegant yet poignant and haunting at moments, and perfect for the era it was set in, whilst the sister's personalities were intricately described throughout the whole book. It gave you a sense of what it was like to be a normal family in the 1800's and subtly showed the feelings of each character -- Dewdrop * Guardian *
A
beautiful heartwarming read -- Cathy Rentzenbrink * Prima *
Louisa May Alcott's
Little Women is as much a part of every girl's childhood as her first pair of ballet shoes and the Brothers Grimm * Mail on Sunday *
