pick4 ⭐. Very informative and easy to read.
pickThis was slow going at first, the Branson Alcott section was a lot to get through, pretty dense, and quite infuriating. But when Louisa arrived in the scene, things picked up and the story of the family, Concord MA and all the historical elements were remarkable. Pretty astounding that Thoreau, Emerson, Henry James, Hawthorne, and both Alcotts were connected and many were dear friends. #MountTBR #BookspinBingo #20in4 @Andrew65 @TheAromaofBooks
I have a busy weekend but with #audiogardening and several books in process, I hope to finish 3 books, including the tagged book which has been on my #TBR for nearly a decade. @Andrew65 #20in4
pickA deeply-researched dive into the Alcott family that left me w/strong feelings about the parents. Bronson was the worst. He never worked & depended on others to support his family so he could maintain his high morals. He left his family to go live elsewhere so they didn‘t distract him. Louisa & her mom were close & alike in temperament. They were both excellent writers & it was Abigail who encouraged her. A must-read IF you are a huge Alcott fan.

I learned so much about Louisa May Alcott in this tagged book- I recommend it if you are a fan. The Little Women book is mine from childhood.
Louisa believed in complete racial integration, which was considered quite radical at the time, even among abolitionists.
