I was SO impressed by this retelling - keeping it like the classic with a fantastic slow burn, with a focus on something that is such an important part of history. I loved that while it kept the same themes of sisterhood and self discovery while giving us as readers a diverse, much needed point of view and an incredibly real and relatable story.
The direction Morrow took in the book was interesting and xx, the March family in this tale has recently been emancipated and I really enjoyed reading this side of the Civil War story. In the classic I felt like the characters were a bit harsh and unlikeable, whereas in this title I really enjoyed the sisters, their relationships and how they were written. And heck, who doesn't love when a book sneaks in some knowledge you didn't know, and urges you to go research more about the topic!
I found the writing style refreshing while remaining respectful to the original tale of Little Women, but in a more contemporary voice that kept me interested! Having read Bethany's A Song Below Water books, I was very excited about this book and was absolutely thrilled to be invited to be a part of the tour with Turn the Page Tours!
