The Other March Sisters (Linda Epstein, Ally Malinenko and Liz Parker)-an e book bargin

#TheOtherMarchSisters #NetGalley

This book has been in my TBR pile for a little while. When I recently began reading Little Women to the woman with whom I volunteer (due to her sight issues), I started thinking more about the March sisters. So, I knew that it was time to pick this one up.

Everyone seems to have their favorite among the Little Women-who do you think that the OTHER March sisters are? If you guessed, Meg, Beth and Amy, you would be right. Jo seems to have been both Alcott’s and many readers favorite.

Here three authors work together to more deeply imagine the stories of those other young sisters. I was most drawn to the sections of Meg as I remembered thinking about her quite a bit as she married and struggled with her role as a wife (remember when she cooks a disastrous dinner in the original?) when I reread the novel.

Note that there are some elements of LGBQT in the story as the authors imagine their characters.

Could this book replace Little Women? Certainly not. It was not written as well in my opinion. I think that it might appeal more to the “new adult” readers.

Still, anyone who wants to think more about the March sisters and their worlds, may want to give this one a look.

Many thanks to NetGalley and Kensington Publishing Group for this title. All opinions are my own.
