With their father away at war and money tight, the four March sisters - practical Meg, headstrong Jo, gentle Beth, and ambitious Amy - grow up fast in a household short on wealth but rich in everything else. Alcott follows them from girlhood scrapes to the harder choices of early adulthood: love, loss, art, and the pull between duty and dreams.
One of the most beloved coming-of-age novels ever written, and the blueprint for a century of stories about sisters. Warm, funny, and unafraid of grief when it comes.
