Some time back I posted a thread discussing how Little Women would be if it were written today: http://www.wrongplanet.net/postt175546.html

Finished Gabrielle Donnelly's The Little Women Letters recently. It's about Jo's great-great granddaughter Lulu in modern London reading Jo's letters to her sisters and Marmee, against the backdrop of her family and personal life. There are parallels between Lulu, her sisters, their friends and boyfriends with the characters in the original book. Anyone else here read it too? :)

I haven't read that book in particular, but I love Little Women, and Alcott generally. <3
