Summary

This treasured classic by one of America's best-loved writers concludes the adventures and misadventures of the March family first introduced in Little Women and continued in Little Men. Jo's Boys is entertaining, surprising, and an overall joy to listen to.

Set ten years after Little Men, Jo's Boys revisits the one-time members of that "wilderness of boys" that once resided at Plumfield, the New England boarding school still presided over by Jo and her husband, Professor Bhaer. Jo's boys—including sailor Emil, promising musician Nat, and rebellious Dan—are grown up and making their ways in the world with varying degrees of triumph and disaster. Jo herself remains at the center of this tale, holding her boys fast through shipwreck and storm, disappointment … and even murder.

I absolutely loved Little women, Good Wives and Little Men and consider them timeless classics. However I don’t find Jo’s Boys of the same calibre, and rather than being a feel good story like the others, it is in fact rather tragic. Particularly the ending wasn’t very happy and i felt it reflected the age of the book and a time of depression.

Not as good as the others in the series
