243 pp. A new edition of Louisa May Alcott's 1875 classic novel, Eight Cousins: Or, The Aunt-Hill. The story of Rose Campbell, a lonely and sickly orphan who moves to live with her maiden great aunts, who are the matriarchs of her wealthy Boston family, and her guardian, Uncle Alec. Under his unconventional parenting, she thrives and finds her place in her big family of seven boy cousins. Often described as "Little Women but with boys," Eight Cousins is another beloved and enduringly popular novel from Alcott, telling a domestic story with strong moral lessons, yet which is subtly subversive in encouraging young women to pursue their ambitions.
