Summary
Meet the March sisters: the talented and tomboyish Jo, the beautiful Meg, the frail Beth, and the spoiled Amy, as they pass through the years between girlhood and womanhood. A lively portrait of growing up in the 19th century with lasting vitality and enduring charm.
Review
Perhaps better to discover this one as a youth? I found neither "lasting vitality" nor "enduring charm" in this read. The plot was dull, the pace slow, the teachings pendantic, and the characters mildly annoying.
Notes
One of the few times I preferred a movie version (Susan Sarandon, Winona Ryder; 1994) to the original book. Meg in particular is much more palatable in the movie.
