Chargement... Marmee (2022)par Sarah Miller
   Historical Fiction (66) Actuellement, il n'y a pas de discussions au sujet de ce livre.   ) Sassyjd32 | Dec 22, 2023 |  I highly recommend this as a companion to Little Women. I feel like this is a 'must read' for anyone who loves that book. ( ) ang709 | Apr 1, 2023 | As a lifelong fan of Little Women, I really enjoyed this book. I felt that the author stayed true to the original characters and events, while still adding enough new material to make it interesting -- an impressive feat, indeed. I don't know how this would read for someone who has not read the original; I imagine it would still be a compelling read. Also, if you cried over a certain event in the original, you're going to cry at the same point in this one. If you know, you know. (  ) foggidawn | Jan 9, 2023 | Marmee struggles with her temper, the lack of money as her husband continuously spends it on others rather than sending it home, and the trials and tribulations of raising four very different daughters. This covers the same period as Little Women, so many of the same events occur, but from a different perspective. Her constant generosity and care for others less fortunate than her shines through, and the book also highlights how the Marches helped the abolitionist movement. This book holds Marmee up as a strong example of Christian womanhood. She's flawed, yet strives to conquer her faults, she's loving and generous, and even the biggest crisis of her life doesn't move her into bitterness. Perfect for adult fans of Little Women, who've grown up enough to identify more with the mother than the teenage girls. Thank you to the publisher for the gifted copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. ( ) Asingrey | Oct 25, 2022 | aucune critique | ajouter une critique

HTML: From the author of Caroline, a revealing retelling of Louisa May Alcott's beloved Little Women, from the perspective of Margaret "Marmee" March, about the larger real-world challenges behind the cozy domestic concerns cherished by generations of readers. In 1861, war is raging in the South, but in Concord, Massachusetts, Margaret March has her own battles to fight. With her husband serving as an army chaplain, the comfort and security of Margaret's four daughtersâ?? Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amyâ??now rest on her shoulders alone. Money is tight and every month, her husband sends less and less of his salary with no explanation. Worst of all, Margaret harbors the secret that these financial hardships are largely her fault, thanks to a disastrous mistake made over a decade ago which wiped out her family's fortune and snatched away her daughters' chances for the education they deserve. Yet even with all that weighs upon her, Margaret longs to do moreâ??for the war effort, for the poor, for the cause of abolition, and most of all, for her daughters. Living by her watchwords, "Hope and keep busy," she fills her days with humdrum charity work to keep her worries at bay. All of that is interrupted when Margaret receives a telegram from the War Department, summoning her to her husband's bedside in Washington, D.C. While she is away, her daughter Beth falls dangerously ill, forcing Margaret to confront the possibility that the price of her own generosity toward others may be her daughter's life. A stunning portrait of the paragon of virtue known as Marmee, a wife left behind, a mother pushed to the brink, a woman with secrets.
