The March sisters—Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy—are left to manage their home, and, more challengingly, themselves, while their father is away at war. Each is quite certain of her own nature: Meg aspires to elegance, Jo to independence, Beth to peace, and Amy to distinction. Under their mother’s steady guidance, they navigate the small trials, ambitions, and occasional misjudgments of growing up. What follows is a story of sisterhood and self-discovery—where each must learn that becoming remarkable is rather more complicated than it first appears.
