About this book
With their father away at the Civil War and money short, the four March sisters stage plays, fight, make up, and help their mother keep the household going. Jo wants to be a writer, Meg wants pretty things, Beth wants everyone to be happy, and Amy wants to be a lady.
This edition includes both parts of the novel, following the sisters from girlhood into adult life — with all its marriages, losses and second chances.
