Based on the book by Louisa May Alcott. The March sisters: responsible Meg, tempestuous Jo, tender Beth, and romantic Amy, are growing up in Concord, MA during and after the American Civil War. Their father is fighting in the war and, with their strong-willed mother, Marmee, they struggle with major and minor problems in 19th-century New England.

Louisa May Alcott's autobiographical account of her life with her three sisters in Concord, Massachusetts in the 1860s. With their father fighting in the American Civil War, sisters Jo, Meg, Amy and Beth are at home with their mother, a very outspoken woman for her time. The story tells of how the sisters grow up, find love, and find their place in the world.
Rated PG for two uses of mild language

I just read this for the first time.

I don't know, it was a nice read, however the book was spoiled for me from watching the movie first. I think it took the magic out of it because I knew what was coming.

That being said, it was a lovely read and I would reccomend ( )

Quotations
Amy: I don't wanna die. I've never even been kissed. I've waited my whole to be kissed, and what if I miss it?

Laurie: I tell you what. I promise to kiss you before you die.
Jo March: I find it poor logic to say that because women are good, women should vote. Men do not vote because they are good; they vote because they are male, and women should vote, not because we are angels and men are animals, but because we are human beings and citizens of this country.
Amy: You don't need scores of suitors. You need only one... if he's the right one.
Laurie: Someday you'll find a man, a good man, and you'll love him, and marry him, and live and die for him. And I'll be hanged if I stand by and watch.
