hmm... recently.. well.. actually not quite recently.. but i hav read this book a few times... and just sometimes ago, i read it again... and i found that no matter how many times i read it, it still capture my interest!
It is quite a big big (or rather.. thick) book... as it consists of two parts of the story.. kind of continuation.. it is available in separate books but the one i bought is combined together.. therefore it is thicker than ur average dictionary!! haha...
anyway... the plot starts with the introducing the four March sisters brooding over their not so cheerful Christmas.. father volunteering at the war.. family poor... anyway.. these 4 sisters comforted each other and remind themselves that they are actually much more happier than most people... some of them so poor that they have spoilt roof, no fire in their grates, no Christmas dinner available...
okay.. it's boring.. but to make the story short... it is actually a story about these 4 sisters who stand by each other during difficult times... how they actually grow up into 4 elegant young woman and so on... since this book is thick.... the author actually brings us reader into their daily life until all of them grow up and happily married.. how they faces consequences in lifes... how they earn their places in society... how they tactfully manage their love life... how they actually learn to face death... it is actually a book that brings the reader from the start of the 4 sisters childhood till their motherhood...
and while it maybe boring at the start.. (as all books are..) one will not feel like putting down the book once they started on it... some parts of it is funny.. comical... some are sad.. sober.. serious.. some are romantic.. sweet... yup... i nearly shade a tear while reading one part of it.. (dun laugh ya...!)
Little Woman by Louisa May Alcott... one of my favourite..
ok... one of my boring blog again... forgive me ya...! i guess i can't really express my feelings about this book well.. i will work hard on my language... :(
so long...
p/s >>> i still miss 'him' !!!
