Marmee: A Novel by Sarah Miller

5.0

Marmee is a lovely book and a great complement to the Little Women story. Little Women has always been one of my favorite novels and I loved the opportunity to see the story from the perspective of the matriarch of the family. I thought the use of diary format worked really well. I loved hearing about some of my favorite parts of the Little Women story from her perspective and her take on the events. As a mother now, I also connected with her angst and worry over her children's well-being could really feel the angst that she went through especially surrounding Beth's illness and death.
