What it’s about
Meg, Jo, Beth and Amy March grow up while their father is away at war. Jo, who wants to be a writer, is the heart of the book.
It is warm, funny and sometimes very sad, and it follows the sisters well into adulthood.

“I'm not afraid of storms, for I'm learning how to sail my ship.”
Why people stop, and how to finish
The moral lessons in the early chapters feel old-fashioned to some modern readers.
What helps: Stay with it to part two, where the sisters grow up and the story deepens.
