I’m quite proud of myself for I
have re-joined the army of book freaks. A new addition to my collection is a
classic called Little Women by Louisa May Alcott. An autobiographical
representation of Louisa herself & her sisters written in 1869, based in
New England. Struggle of 4 sisters & her mother, while their father is
fighting a civil war of the nineteenth century. The story unwinds not only the
struggle but also different aspects about their social encounters & their
rookie attempts to fall in love. After all what’s a classic with a slight touch
of contemporary romance, right?
I do have really high expectation
from this classic for I’ve heard it’s one of the greatest written piece of art.
Now from where did I hear about this book is a little interesting. As a
die-hard “Friends” fan, I remembered an episode where Joey places his book “The
Shining” in his refrigerator for he is too scared to read it further, so Rachel
challenges him to get through “Little Women” as she claims it to be one of the
best reads she has ever had. So, yes! That’s how I wanted to go for it &
give it a shot.
So far just a chapter old & I
already loved the writing as it’s simple yet so descriptive. Honestly, I do not
know much about classic novels as I haven’t majorly read old work. So, it would
be unfair for me to draw a comparison & judge her piece of art. However,
post “Little Women”, I’m sure to devote time to flip through as many classics
as possible.
