Publisher's Summary

Hollywood icon Laura Dern breathes new life into Louisa May Alcott’s classic coming-of-age tale that follows the lives of four sisters against a backdrop of the American Civil War. This autobiographical novel takes place in and around the girls’ New England home.

This great American novel demonstrates Alcott's extraordinary talent at portraying the joys and struggles of family life in an unforgettable way. Generations of people - young and old, male and female - have fallen in love with the March sisters. This classic of young adult fiction transcends genre, gender, and class with its examination of personal quests, societal restrictions, family ties, and the end of innocence.

This new audio original dramatisation of Little Women stars a full cast led by two-time Academy Award-nominee, four-time Golden Globe-winner, and Emmy winner Laura Dern (Little Women, Big Little Lies, Jurassic Park), along with veteran narrators Suzanne Toren, Lauren Fortgang, Allison Hiroto, Emily Bauer, and Carly Robins.

10/10 Narration and Heart-warming story!

I saw the 2019 film adaptation of Little Women and really enjoyed it! The film and the story are very similar, except the story tells events sequentially.
I love that this story has voice actors for every voice - it really makes it come alive! So well done.
I had a few illustrated simplified versions of this book as a child and I thought it was boring at the time. But the story is so heartwarming. The character growth/progression is great.

Fun But frustrating

The voices of the sisters are too similar and in far too many spots it was difficult to tell who was speaking it does tempt me to go read the text again

Catching up on a childhood favourite.

Loved Laura Deen's gentle voice. The story being read by a cast of actors was a brilliant idea.
