Маленькие женщины (Олкотт Л.М.)

Kakie zhe raznye v semeystve March rastut devochki! Poslushnaya, no nemnogo tshcheslavnaya krasavitsa Meg, chestnaya i pryamolineynaya fantazyerka Dzho, robkaya i zastenchivaya lyubitelnitsa muzyki Bess, eshchye po-detski obidchivaya i kapriznaya Emi. Kazhdoy iz nikh chego-to v zhizni ne khvataet. Meg ugnetaet bednost semi, Dzho lichnaya nesvoboda, Bess otsutstvie pianino, Emi eye nos i uroki Vperedi u devochek trudnyy god: v Amerike idyet Grazhdanskaya voyna, ikh otets, polkovoy svyashchennik, vdali ot doma podderzhivaet boevoy dukh soldat-severyan, i mnogie zaboty po domu legli na plechi malenkikh zhenshchin March. No imenno etot god pozvolit syestram ponyat, chto, v sushchnosti, u nikh uzhe est vsye, chtoby byt schastlivymi.
