Read 2 times. Last read November 12, 2024 to December 8, 2024.
My first re-read of one of my very favorite classics!
This story will always make me feel nostalgic, cozy, and full of joy!
Although this story is quite “traditional” in some ways, I love how it was also very much ahead of its time.
Even though this book was written about the lives of four girls living in the early 1800s, I relate to, and see myself in, each one of the March sisters. I resonate with Jo’s desire to do more with her life than what is expected, with Amy’s passion for art, with Beth’s love for her family, and with Meg’s happiness in being a mother and wife. That is why this book has stood the test of time and why so many readers, including myself, love it so much.

“Women, they have minds, and they have souls, as well as just hearts. And they’ve got ambition, and they’ve got talent, as well as just beauty. I’m so sick of people saying that love is all a woman is fit for.”

“...and best of all, the wilderness of books, in which she could wander, where she liked, made the library a region of bliss to her.”

Nice to see you keeping up with the club schedule! I dropped out after Middlemarch. There just wasnt any interesting discussions going on within the group. Just some random thoughts being expressed, but not much in terms of compelling conversations :(
