With Thanksgiving comes a long weekend where we might be able to sneak in extra reading time. Perhaps you’re returning home on a long plane or car ride; or snuggled safely in bed after eating a post-Thanksgiving breakfast with leftovers. It’s a great time to re-read Little Women, and if you read my pick from a few days ago, “March,” it may be interesting to revisit the work it’s based on.
Little Women (and the sequel, Good Wives) is a long read, so I personally only re-read it about every three years. I skip some of the more religious “Pilgrim’s Progress” chapters, and I still get lost luxuriating in the descriptions of food, clothing and life in the mid to late 1800s. I was able to visit Concord a few years ago and stopped by Orchard House, but couldn’t wait in line to take the tour when I had two bored teenage nephews with me. I visited Louisa May Alcott’s grave, so near Emerson’s on Author’s Hill in Sleepy Hollow cemetery, and I was moved to tears that I’d been able to visit the home and resting place of one of my favorite classic authors.
