41. Little Women by Louisa May Alcott and contemporary book recs inspired by the March sisters
b'
Today Chelsey and Sara are discussing Little Women by Louisa May Alcott. We share what we admire about Alcott and her iconic children\\u2019s classic, as well as the reasons why it doesn\\u2019t hold a fond place in our readerly hearts. We know that many readers adore this sisterly, warm-hearted book, so we\\u2019ve backed up our opinions with extra-nerdy analysis.\\xa0
Plus, as always, we\\u2019re recommending six contemporary books to pair with our classic, including books about the writing life and one of Sara\\u2019s favorite moody books from this year.
