Sugar Lee demonsugar — This 1868 classic is indeed a deathless book. Its messages are still applicable even after almost one and a half century since its first publication. Although the story revolved on the joys and sorrows of the March daughters – Meg, Jo, Beth and Amy, the real character serving as a glue and bringing this novel to the accolade that it all deserves is Marmee. Her advices to the girls are timeless. One that I will always remember is that “it is better to be a happy old maid than an unhappy wife or be un-maidenly looking for a husband” When I was younger, I thought that old maids are miserable failed women. I had a change of perspective when later I met (through my wife’s family), happy and contented old maids. This novel reinforced that. I hope that my daughter will sometime soon find this book interesting to read so that she will also learn from the timeless advices of Marmee. As for style, it’s a light read and not overbearing as other classics. One fascinating style is that there are parts where Alcott speaks directly to the reader giving her own opinion about what is happening in the story. This is something that I rarely find in contemporary novelists. The exchanges of letters when Meg and Jo went overseas are also effective. I also enjoyed the poetry especially the last one where each daughter’s life was described beautifully by Jo. I also noted the frequent use of “by-and-by” and “tupsy-turvy” two words that are no longer common in everyday conversation that Alcott seems to enjoy using. It just reminded me of the word “glowered” in Stephanie Mayer’s Twilight saga
