The Little Women Letters by Gabrielle Donnelly was an excellent read. I seldom laugh at sitcoms, but scenes and dialog in this book caused grins and watering eyes. I had to squelch true laugh-out-louds because my husband was asleep.
ReplyDeleteDoing a book that is a spin-off of a classic is difficult to do successfully. This is a splendid accomplishment. It hits all the right notes, imo. This should be on its way to becoming a classic itself. I'd love to see it as a movie, but I don't know how the letters could possibly be evoked.
Thank you, Patti and PCPL, for recommending it.
