  “I was a literature geek at the age of 10/11, I grew up in Concord, and my parents were true readers.....so I read Little Women, Little Men, Jo's girls....i visited the Orchard House numerous times. This book would probably only interest those who have a passion for Louisa May ...hers was an interesting family, but probably only interesting to a limited audience. The book is reasonably well written, but it certainly is not a page turner!

  “This is a LONG but very interesting look at the author of Little Women and her father. Seeing the fathers of Transcendentalism from this vantage point offered me a new perspective. Moreover, there are a lot of interesting points about gender inequity even among those who considered themselves so progressive. Interesting isights about the nature of being married to a visionary and the impact on the whole family are also included.
  The first part moves more quickly than the latter chapters, but on the whole, I really enjoyed it.”
