#ThrowbackSeries: Invincible Louisa by Cornelia Meigs

This is one of the posts that I posted in Riona's Pages. I'll be honest to say that I actually have forgotten the story so I'll be updating this book review after I re-read this book.

Title: Invincible Louisa

Author: Cornelia Meigs

 Learn the story behind the story of the author of the classic story, Little Women. Be with her to the ups and downs of her life as she earns her name "Invincible Louisa".

Summary from the back cover: The story starts on Louisa's birthplace; Germantown, Philadelphia; on a cold November day. The story begins as Louisa grows as a toddler until she died at age 55 on March 6, 1888. Read the story to know where the characters from her book came from and from where did Little Women came. Learn if there really is a Laurie in Louisa's life. You will know this when you read Invincible Louisa by Cornelia Meigs.

My Comments:

What I like about the book: First off all, I love Louisa! Her assertiveness, liveliness, devout love for her family, and her passion for writing just amazes me. Knowing the author behind Little Women helps me understand the author's point of view in the story. I also love the tests and trials that she faced and how she faced them which are written in the book.

What I don't like about the book: I think I would love to know more on what happened to her sisters after, *spoiler*, she died. Well we'll all die at one point anyway so that's not so much of a spoiler.

My Suggestion: I think this book should be advertised along with the "Little Women" book for the readers to actually see how her life is reflected in the book she wrote.
