内容説明
When Josephine March's great-great-granddaughter stumbles across her letters, the Little Women shed a glorious light on a new generation of sisters. The Atwaters are a loving, sprawling mess of a family and Fee's three daughters, Emma, Lulu and Sophie couldn't be less alike if they tried. Emma is planning her wedding, Sophie is an up-and-coming actress, but Lulu - the cleverest of them all - is more than a little lost. If life is for living, why is she stuck in a series of dead-end jobs? Grandma Jo's letters had been gathering dust in the attic for decades, but when Lulu gets her hands on them, everything seems to change and different worlds begin to open up. And even though dark family secrets emerge, Jo's words offer comfort and guidance across the centuries. Sometimes family is all that matters. And sisters are the closest friends you can find.
メディア掲載レビュー
"Donnelly's "The Little Women Letters" imagines how modern versions of the March sisters might have lived. . . . Donnelly writes with obvious passion for the classic take and successfully applies a fresh sensibility to the three modern sisters. Nostalgic without being deferential, jocular without being flippant...Beautifully crafted." --"Booklist"

Perfect Summer Read
2011/6/25
形式:ハードカバー
I was never a Little Women fan but I love this book. I found the characters to be fun, loving and people I would like to know. The story is interesting and engaging, Ms. Donnelly has a real feel for family and how women relate to one another. I loved the way she used the letters to interweave the story line between modern day and the late 1800s. I highly recommend this book and don't think that you will be disappointed.

Good summer beach reading!
2011/6/19
形式:ハードカバー
To be honest, my opinion about this book is split. The Little Women angle is wonderful. Modern day Lulu finds a cache of letters in her mother's attic that are correspondences between the original March sisters, much as they would have been as they grew older through the years. The letters were so well-written and true to Alcott's characters that at times I forgot that they were written by Donnelly. I really enjoyed imagining what sort of lives the March sisters would have lived and how gracefully they would have aged and enjoyed their various offsprings.
While I enjoyed the March sisters' letters and the stroll down Little Women memory lane, the modern day family was not as entertaining to me as a reader. It is clear that the modern day sisters were written to resemble their March sister relatives. Lulu acts like Jo would have and of course Amy is represented by the theatrical sister Sophie. It's just that the modern family was never as engaging as the original sisters. Sisters fight, sisters sarcastically put each other down, sisters rally to the aid of each other...
Overall this book is a very fun read, but I found myself reading the letters between the March sisters with much more interest than I read the story of the modern sisters.

A Treat
2011/8/2
形式:ハードカバー
"Fee shook her head, leaned forward across the table, and laid a hand on her daughter's. 'Treats,' she said firmly."
This quote from the book has the mom telling one of her daughters that every woman needs a treat in their life to make a happy marriage. This book is a treat! I reread Little Women before I read this book to get the characters fresh in my mind, but you really don't need to in order to enjoy the book. The author's voice is current, descriptive, and full of a wicked sense of humor!The characters are believable and interesting. The way she described current London made me feel as if I have been there.This a book I highly recommend for any female from 15 years up. Give us more, Gabrielle!
