It was phenomenal, IMHO, and I'm so glad I stumbled upon it somewhat accidentally....Anyway, the point is I have great confidence in the ability of <i>Little Women</i> take-off novels, as it were, to be provocative, non-derivative and brilliant -- regardless of the reader's relationship to the original classic. <br /><br />I adore biographical hist fic, so my interest in this new book is very strong! Thank you so much for bringing this book to our attention and for another generously provided opportunity to read and re-read the book for free!<br /><br />Cheers, Kara SKAShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09910485948404866202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7531601806554006401.post-63536151147002183642015-09-16T18:26:45.646-04:002015-09-16T18:26:45.646-04:00Sounds very good!
