I listened to it through Phoebe Reads a Mystery podcast. I think I’m too old to get the appeal of it. Didn’t love it like so many of my friends do.

“I’ve been routed up early all winter, and had to spend my days working for other people; so now I’m going to rest and revel to my heart’s content.” literalmente mi actitud ignorando toda responsabilidad durante una semana para leer la novelita
“Don’t try to make me grow up before my time, Meg; it’s hard enough to have you change all of a sudden; let me be a little girl as long as I can”
“I wish wearing flat-irons on our heads would keep us from growing up. But buds will be roses, and kittens, cats,—more’s the pity!”
Oh. Oh.
La verdad, genial primera lectura del año. Normalmente no aguanto los comienzos excesivamente lentos, pero durante toda la primera parte permanecí enganchada a la lectura, y en la segunda, cuando llega la «acción», fue cuando, acaso, me despegué un poco más de ella. Pero me ha encantado igual.
(La estrella que falta es solamente por el final amoroso de Jo, que no me termina de convencer y me ha dejado con una sensación agridulce).
Honestamente, esperaba mucha más pamplina sobre cómo ser la mujer perfecta TM para la época, pero, y aunque hay dosis de ello, ni un cuarto. No sé, se ofrece una imagen muy linda pero nada idealizada de la vida de estas chicas, con conflictos reales sobre cómo es crecer (y crecer siendo mujer).
4,75/5, en realidad.

By the end of re-reading Little Women, I wanted to join the March family in harvesting bushels of apples, singing around the piano, and sewing small gifts for each family member for Christmas. Glad I picked it up again.

The moments of shining anger, independence, and ambition elevate Little Women beyond the “moral pap” (Alcott’s phrasing) that was shoehorned in to sell books, and make it well worth reading.
