Booklist - 03/01/2022 The March sisters have always leaned on each other during hard times, but as WWII rages on, they find themselves scattered across the globe. More than distance separates the girls, as they are also detached emotionally while they attempt to work through the grief of losing their fourth sister, Beth. As the girls come into their own, they must learn how to be sisters to each other again. Little Women is an often-revisited novel. What makes Great or Nothing unique among other adaptations, beyond its new 1940s setting and having four different authors (Joy McCullough, Caroline Tung Richmond, Tess Sharpe, and Jessica Spotswood) penning the perspectives of the girls, is the expanded breadth of the idea of sisterhood. In addition to navigating their literal sister relationships, these young women forge strong bonds with friends and colleagues that allow them to see all the things their relationships with each other can evolve into as they move towards adulthood. A must-read for Louisa May Alcott fans and anyone who believes in the power of sisterhood. - Copyright 2022 Booklist.
