Anyone growing tired of the Jane Austen re-dos (and who isn't, at least
just a little?) might take succor in this novel devised from the Little Women
author's journals. It mixes truth (Alcott's lifelong fascination with
Walt Whitman) with imagination (a fictional suitor) to produce a
plausible love story about one of the most fiercely independent women of
any time.
