Little Women by Louisa May Alcott

SPOILER ALERT

Hello fellow Alcott fans! I am here to talk about one of my favorite books, Little Women. Filled with innocent romance, humor, and family fun, it has been an American classic. Only one thing: I wish Jo had married Laurie. I also wish Beth hadn't died. Please join me in this discussion!!!!!!

Admin, may I please request that you put "Spoiler Alert" at the top of this thread? Little Women is a beautiful book, and I don't want it to be spoiled for anyone.

I actually just visited the Orchard House in Concord, MA. Coincidence? I think not. Anyway, the tour guide said that the author wrote the book in memory of her sister, who died ten years prior to the book. She completely kept Beth's character, as well as the name. So she kind of had to die. Louisa also was strongly against Jo marrying anyone, but the publisher insisted...

Poor Beth, destined to die.

I read that book-- it is beautiful and moving, and contains many problems faced by young women growing up in every era. I vastly enjoyed it.
