Sisters Meg, Jo and Amy have the perfect family--loving, creative
parents; a comfortable life on Manhattan's Upper West Side; a future
full of possibility. Perfect until the daughters discover their mother
has had affair, and, even worse, that their father has forgiven her.
Shattered by their parents' failure to live up to the moral standards
and values of the family, the two younger sisters leave New York and
move to Meg's apartment in New Haven, where Meg is a junior at Yale. It
is here that the girls will form their own family, divorced from their
parents. The Little Women is a chronicle of that year, wittily
narrated as a novel written by the middle sister Jo and commented upon
throughout by her sisters.
