Marmee & Louisa, hailed by NPR as one of the best books of
2012, paints an exquisitely moving and utterly convincing
portrait of Louisa May Alcott and her mother, the real
“Marmee.†Award-winning biographer Eve LaPlante mines
the Alcotts' intimate diaries and other private papers, some
recently discovered in a family attic and others thought to
have been destroyed, to revive this remarkable daughter and
mother. Abigail May Alcott-long dismissed as a quiet,
self-effacing background figure-comes to life as a gifted
writer and thinker. A politically active feminist firebrand,
she fought for universal civil rights, an end to slavery,
and women's suffrage. This gorgeously written story of two
extraordinary women is guaranteed to transform our view and
deepen our understanding of one of America's most beloved
authors.
