Beloved Beth

I wish I had the book with me so I could quote material, but I'm struck at how, again, I get so weepy over good little Beth. Her protection of Flora is one of the high points for me in the book. I won't say much else in case you don't know Beth's storyline, but she is a wonderful heroine.

I also thought, for a while, that March was never going to mention her, that he seemed more apt to mention the other three, and I'm glad the author didn't take it in that direction. All the fuss over Jo has always bugged me; I don't care that she was high-spirited. The other sisters were more interesting.

OK, kids. We gotta start reading or move along, here.

OK, I finished today. I'm good to go.

And, we've got ready-made discussion questions in the back.

I always got sick of Jo, too. And it was touching -- and very fitting -- to me that here Beth seemed to be especially beloved to her father.
