Rich or poor, we will keep together and be happy in one another.Ĭhristmas won’t be the same this year for Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy, as their father is away fighting in the Civil War and the family has fallen on hard times. So, it was much to my surprise that a few chapters in, I found myself rather enchanted, and subsequently made my way through the second book Good Wives as well within a space of a week. Bored with back to back TV, I picked up Little Women (which I had recently gotten free from the radio times due to a new adaptation) and began reading with much trepidation, feeling that if it was anything like Jane Austen’s work (which I don’t have the greatest affection for) it would be a bit of a slog. I will confess that I was feeling pretty low and fed up as I sat moaning under a blanket on my sofa. I was in the most unpleasant depths of a cold, and my brain felt as though it was stuffed with cotton wool. It was a cold and hopeless winter morning, with frost thick on the ground that I decided to pick up Little Women. Overall Impression: A heartwarming tale about childhood and sisterhood, and the perils of growing up.
