A reimagining of Little Women set in 1942, when the United States is suddenly embroiled in the second World War, this story, told from each March sister's point of view, is one of grief, love, and self-discovery. In the fall of 1942, the United States is still reeling from the attack on Pearl Harbor. While the US starts sending troops to the front, the March family of Concord, Massachusetts grieves their own enormous loss: the death of their daughter, Beth. Under the strain of their grief, Beth's remaining sisters fracture, each going their own way with Jo nursing her wounds and building planes in Connecticut, Meg holding down the home front with Marmee, and Amy living a secret life as a Red Cross volunteer in London--the same city where one Mr. Theodore Laurence is stationed as an army pilot. Each March sister's point of view is written by a separate author, three in prose and Beth's in verse, still holding the family together from beyond the grave. Woven together, these threads tell a story of finding one's way in a world undergoing catastrophic change.

#LatePost - What an excellent #reread. These ladies really get what makes the March sisters tick - they didn't just take one personality trait from each and run with it. This story really can be told in any era and resonate! #historicalfiction #yahistoricalfiction

In a couple of weeks I‘m going to see Little Women at Stratford Theatre and instead of doing a reread I found this retell/reimagining to get ready with ❤️ it‘s really lovely, the perfect amount of modernization. I can‘t wait for the play

I am really enjoying this #ARC from #NetGalley. It is a retelling of Little Women, set in 1942; Beth has already died and functions as spirit watching over her sisters. Each chapter is told from alternating POVs, with a poetic interlude from Beth, commenting on her sisters lives. This one comes after a Jo chapter. As someone who has suffered through grief, this hits home. #GreatorNothing #Jo #Meg #Beth #Amy

StaceGhost Not me bursting into tears because of a poem 😭 3y
MoonWitch94 @StaceGhost OMG same! 😭 It‘s why I had to share it. All the Beth interludes hit right in the gut; very beautifully. 3y
