This was one of the most heart-warming books I've ever had the pleasure of reading. I knew the story of Little Women, I'd seen various film adaptations and thought I knew what to expect. But this really hit me in a different way than any adaptation of it has. The themes of appreciating what you have and the people around you and of growing up and learning what it means to be a woman (though, admittedly, a very 1860s version of what it means to be a woman but I'll forgive it for that) just really resonated with me. Apart from some elements that obviously haven't aged well (which is kind of a given in classics) I enjoyed every bit of this. From the films I thought this might be a generous 4/5 for me but it was just so charming I had to give it a 5. I can totally see why this has stood the test of time so well.
