Little Women by Louisa May Alcott

The Little Women as they look in my imagination!

Way before I've bought the classical novel, Little Women, I have watched it before as an animation in Animax. This served as the image I'll use in my imagination. And so, on with my reading, not knowing that this novel would forever change my life.

Reading Little Women was like dreaming a good dream. It was so idealistic and yet it felt so real. I saw myself in three of those little women, Jo, Meg and Amy. Jo for being wild, unruly, lover of books and having a risky personality, Meg for being vain and wanting to feel luxury and Amy for being spoiled and trying to live by the standard of the society. How about little Beth? Aw... I am no little Beth. She is quite, kind, generous and saint. An epitome of values and morality.

I won't spoil this novel for you dear readers. But I will tell you one thing I've learned. As long as you have a loving and unselfish family... be damn to all the richness, luxury and diamonds of the world. I actually saw (or maybe read) how having a family can replace the abundance of gold and silver. There are so many Romantic Novel out there that radiates of love and happily ever after but it is in this one sole novel have I found, what the bible had often times describe, as unconditional love.

Some of you may get disappointed in one or two events... (oh why does he have to marry....) Oh just kidding! I did promise not to ruin the novel right?

Nobody had ever painted a family so inspiring as Louisa May Alcott did.
