Summary
Hollywood icon Laura Dern breathes new life into Louisa May Alcott’s classic coming-of-age tale that follows the lives of four sisters against a backdrop of the American Civil War. This autobiographical novel takes place in and around the girls’ New England home.
This great American novel demonstrates Alcott's extraordinary talent at portraying the joys and struggles of family life in an unforgettable way. Generations of people - young and old, male and female - have fallen in love with the March sisters. This classic of young adult fiction transcends genre, gender, and class with its examination of personal quests, societal restrictions, family ties, and the end of innocence.
This new audio original dramatisation of Little Women stars a full cast led by two-time Academy Award-nominee, four-time Golden Globe-winner, and Emmy winner Laura Dern (Little Women, Big Little Lies, Jurassic Park), along with veteran narrators Suzanne Toren, Lauren Fortgang, Allison Hiroto, Emily Bauer, and Carly Robins.

A classic well read
A classic tale brought to life by a likable cast! I sampled a few before this one. I've spent many happy hours listening to this and I'm taken back to a time where life was much simpler.
Highly recommend this version.

An extraordinary book!
This was my first time listening to the story and I must say, I’ve never came across a preformed book like this one!
Was a bit uncertain in the beginning but I loved it! One can never be bored with it.

Pleasant surprise
I didn’t know what to expect with this book as I’ve never read anything like it before. I really enjoyed it in the end and will probably listen to the follow ups

Enthralling
At first, I thought the voice of Laurie sounded too old. However, he does such a wonderful job of narrating the character, it soon didn’t matter. The story is lovely, as expected and all the narrations were beautifully done. I couldn’t stop listening, every spare minute I could find.

Simply beautiful
Beautifully done, charmingly acted, especially Jo’s character. My 13 yr old daughter and I have shared the magic of this audio book all through this deep winter and had our hearts warmed. We loved it.
