Marmee & Louisa: The Untold Story of Louisa May Alcott and Her Mother Paperback - 2013
by Eve Laplante
Summary
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 âÈêMarmee.âÈë Award-winning biographer Eve LaPlante mines the AlcottsâÈç 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 AlcottâÈ'long dismissed as a quiet, self-effacing background figureâÈ'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 womenâÈçs suffrage. This gorgeously written story of two extraordinary women is guaranteed to transform our view and deepen our understanding of one of AmericaâÈçs most beloved authors.
