little women

every once in a while, i'm drawn back to a classic novel that i either can't remember reading or it's been a long time.  "little women" by louisa may alcott falls nicely into that category, so i'm reading an old hard cover copy of it right now.  seeing the musical performed recently rekindled my interest in it and i love how alcott takes her time to really develop her characters through dialogue and description, also capturing an era of wartime in a positive way.  themes of generosity and hospitality are always in fashion in my mind, so those are fun to read as well.  i find i get rather lost in the pages in a timeless sort of way, just like the girls do while putting on their plays in the attic. thankfully imagination never goes out of style!
