Little Women itself “has been read as a romance or as a quest, or both. It has been read as a family drama that validates virtue over wealth.” Little Women has been read “as a means of escaping that life by women who knew its gender constraints only too well.” Alcott “combines many conventions of the sentimental novel with crucial ingredients of Romantic children's fiction, creating a new form of which Little Women is a unique model.”

TERRIBLE narration
Would you try another book from L.M. Montgomery and/or Tara Ward?
I loved Rachel McAdams narration in Anne of Green Gables and am very sorry she didn't narrate the second and third books as well. Tara Ward does a really bad job, particularly when she tries to affect a different voice for each character. All the girls sound like the're 60 years old even thought they're supposed to be 17. And even though this is Prince Edward Island, she makes Gilbert sound like some hick from Alabama. And he also sounds 70 years old and nothing like a college student. Davey is also ridiculous. The narration really ruins an otherwise good book.

As if Marilla was the narrator and voicing Anne
Wonderful reader except when reading for young women. It was difficult to get past. next time I read this series, I hope that these are all redone by a new person or group of people. Or just record the parts of Anne and her girl friends with an appripriate reader. I love Anne so much that I will read or listen every few years regardless of the genre.

Anne of the Island
I love this story. this is one of my all time favorites. No profanity or lurid sex scenes. I love that it is clean and wholesome with good morals throughout. I can't think of anything bad in it.
I don't want to be to hard on the reader. She did a good job and she used voice change for the characters. It just seemed her voice would be Better used for old people. Marilla was perfect for her, but she was not at her best portraying young girls, especially Anne. But. I would listen again. I love this story!
