2010 Release: The Lost Summer of Louisa May Alcott by Kelly O'Connor McNees





by Kelly O'Connor McNees

US & UK Release Date:  April 1, 2010

SYNOPSIS:  Millions of readers have fallen in love with Little Women. But how could Louisa May Alcott—who never had a romance—write so convincingly of love and heartbreak without experiencing it herself?

Deftly mixing fact and fiction, Kelly O’Connor McNees imagines a love affair that would threaten Louisa’s writing career— and inspire the story of Jo and Laurie in Little Women. Stuck in small-town New Hampshire in 1855, Louisa finds herself torn between a love that takes her by surprise and her dream of independence as a writer in Boston. The choice she must make comes with a steep price that she will pay—for the rest of her life.

  7. The synopsis reminds me of Becoming Jane Austen, but sounds interesting. I've never read any of her books, though.
