Little Women (version 2)

Four sisters. One house. A nation at war and revolution stirring in every girl's heart. Meg, Jo, Beth and Amy March share a cramped Massachusetts home, meagre wages, and an unshakeable bond that will be tested by illness, heartbreak, and the slow seduction of growing up. Jo, the stubborn dreamer with ink-stained fingers, refuses the limited fate society offers women - she will write, she will burn, she will not be tamed. Around her, her sisters find their own ways through the impossible arithmetic of womanhood: beauty, duty, talent, survival. Alcott, writing from her own chaotic girlhood, created something rarer than a family portrait - a quietly radical argument that women's lives, however constrained, contain entire universes of ambition, grief and fierce, stubborn joy. More than a century later, the March sisters still ache and sparkle with unbearable authenticity.
