Little Women (Puffin in Bloom)

Simply brilliant. ☺️

The dearest book ever - and so before it's "time."

Honestly, every time I reread Little Women, I find myself wondering if everyone from my generation and their parents has read it, because it feels like they really should. With each reread, I become increasingly aware of how we seem to be growing as a society into a more capitalistic, individualistic, greedy, entitled, and unkind one. This book has the ability to set those who are open and willing on the right path. There’s so much to love here, no matter how many times you return to it. Some moments and lessons stay familiar, while others shift, invite fresh perspectives, or even prompt new questions. And yet, through all of that, the heart of the book remains unchanged: tender, necessary, and deeply heartwarming.

A classic I’m truly glad I finally read. I loved the characters, their relationships, and the gentle manners and day-to-day rhythms of their lives. I didn’t realize it was part of a series, so I had a few assumptions about what must have happened in the first volume that didn’t actually unfold—but it didn’t take away from how warm and enjoyable this story is. A timeless, comforting read.

Simple and amiable. Its a beauty to read and no doubt deserving to be a classic.
