Little Women

De: Louisa May Alcott

Narrado por: Rebecca Burns

Little Women is the story of a wife and her four daughters living in genteel poverty in the environs of Boston while the father is away as a chaplain in the Union Army during the Civil War.

So natural are the actions and dialogue of the charming Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy, that even today Little Women is enjoyable without a sense of Victorian stiffness.

This heartwarming story is Louisa May Alcott's masterpiece. She was born in German town Pennsylvania in 1832. Before becoming an author, she was a nurse at the Union hospital in Georgetown during the Civil War. She died in 1888.

Lots Duncan says of Little Women: "It speaks directly to the hearts of people of any generation who know what it's like to be part of a caring family."

A Wholesome Real Story

This story feels like a warm hug. It covers the complexities of life in the most simple way, and all the characters feel like dear friends. I'm in awe of how the beauty of the ups and downs were captured so elegantly.

Classic

This classic book has a lot of thechnical hiccups. Strange blipping. Repeated santences for no reason. The narrator is ok. But the story still takes your breath away.

Once I got used to the tone, it was amazing

As some other people pointed out, at first I also thought that this was read by an AI. But once I got used to the style and tone of the reader (which by the end actually turned out to be quite soothing and emotional), I enjoyed the book immensely. So much to learn from.

a classic, of course

while I always enjoy most of the story, the chapters with poor editing are very distracting. it is disappointing that this has never been corrected, but it would be very easy: they're when Laurie is in Nice with Amy; a number of parts repeat.
Aside from that extreme annoyance, the story is exactly as one might expect: old-fashioned, a smidge preachy (but not even that bad) and nice happy endings all round.

sounds like it is read by AI

I love this book and it is narrated correctly and with good pronunciation, but very little emotion. it reminds me of AI as read. Very stiff.
