Description du livre
In the gentle and poignant unraveling of the exceptionally normal lives of her protagonists, through the telling of the joys and tragedies of the daily lives of the March sisters, Alcott creates a character like Jo who can defy any gender bias and embody the feminist struggles of modernity. In an America where women are gaining new rights, she thus lets us imagine the future that the twentieth century promises them around the corner. In “Jo's boys,” the three March sisters are now ladies, but their spirit has not been blunted by time: they are still lively, curious, full of life. And the boys of Plumfield, the boarding school that took in lonely straggling children, really need all Jo's wisdom to grow up and leave the nest.
