MARMEE AND LOUISA The Untold Story of Louisa May Alcott and Her Mother

by | Read by Karen White

Biography & Memoir • 14.5 hrs. • Unabridged • © 2012

Every previous biography of Louisa May Alcott, author of LITTLE WOMEN, credits her father, Bronson Alcott, as her muse. However, Eve LaPlante, a descendant of the Alcotts, tells a different story. Using diaries, letters, and family papers, she argues that Abigail May Alcott, Louisa's mother, was the real inspiration and driving force in Louisa's life. Narrator Karen White adopts the tempo and tone of a history professor as she recounts in minute detail the world of this unique family--from the Revolutionary War to the time before the Civil War. The work proves a challenge to narrate as liberal quoting of source material and too much attention to detail, such as monetary conversions, interfere with smooth, cogent storytelling.
