Little Women by Louisa May AlcottMy rating: 2 of 5 stars
My next music plan is the "Little Women" opera at MOT. I like the idea of having Christina Ricci narrate the Alcott novel to me in an audio book.
While I appreciate the scope and accomplishment of the story of four "little women" from girlhood to adulthood (well, three of them, at least) with the ever-present mother hen. However, I found it tedious treacle - a moralistic and sentimental 19th Century novel of the type I really don't like.
The opera's been staged for like 20 years, I hope it's good.
