Would anyone want a fiction book centering on Laurie and Amy?


You have to wonder how their life turned out, considering Laurie did have it bad for J o at one time.

Not really, LOL. Perhaps it's because I'm a male fan of this story and not a woman but that seems like drama that I'm not interested in.

The continuing adventures of Jo March on the other hand, that I could perhaps go for.

Check out Little Men, it features a school for boys run by Jo and her husband. I had a copy of the book from the library a few years ago, but only read a little bit. I hope to read it again down the road.

reply

Oh, thanks for the info! I've not heard of that. Was that also written by Alcott or is it something another writer wrote years later?

reply

No Alcott wrote it, there was also aTV show based on the book in the 90's. I saw a few reruns years ago. I am not sure if she wrote the sequel immediately after Little Women, I saw another novel of hers in the library, but the genre was different. There is a historical fiction out about Marmee. It was published last year. I have not read it yet. I read Little Women back in the 90's.

reply

Interesting. I actually have a copy of Little Women but I still need to read it. I've seen three different film adaptations and have even explored some dramatized audio versions but I have not yet read the novel.

I should do that and maybe at some point I will check out the sequel.

reply

I think there might be A Little Men from the 40's. I only saw the TV show.

reply

I just looked on Wiki and apparently Little Men was adapted three times as a film, once as a live-action TV series, and once even as a Japanese animated series.

Also, apparently there is a third book, titled Jo's Boys, and How They Turned Out.

reply

I never heard of Jo's Boys thanks. I think one of her sisters was an author as well.
