Book Review: Marmee by Sarah Miller


Marmee by Sarah Miller - 5 Stars 

Marmee by Sarah Miller is a captivating exploration of the beloved character, Marmee, in Little Women by Louisa May Alcott. I LOVED this book so much. This book takes you on a journey of the events in Little Women but all from Marmee's point of view through her personal journal entries. It brings such a depth to her character that I think ever person who reads Little Women would appreciate. Marmee was already my favorite character in Little Women, but after this book, I love her even more. It really feels like it goes with the true Little Women story.

The author skillfully weaves a story that uncovers Marmee's joys, struggles, and the choices that shaped her into the compassionate and wise mother we know from Little Women.

Seeing other struggles she went through that we could assume could have happened in this story were truly eye opening and heartbreaking. I sobbbbbeedddd several times while reading this books, specifically in the ending. I could relate to Marmee as a wife and mother throughout the story many times also. It was also nice to see more details of her marriage to Amos and her feelings she could have felt while he was gone to war during that time. It felt so vulnerable and real to me to read through her journal entries.

In conclusion, "Marmee" is a must-read for fans of Little Women as Sarah Miller's portrayal of Marmee breathes fresh life into a timeless character.
