Marmee Discussion

As you know, I LOVE celebrating the beauty of Little Women with our community. When I founded The Enchanted Book Club, I wanted to create a delightful place for fans of Jane Austen, Anne of Green Gables , and Little Women to celebrate beloved stories like these.



Marmee gave us an opportunity to dive into the story of Little Women in a way we hadn’t before. This beautiful novel provided insight into a beloved character that may even influence my future readings of Little Women . If you haven’t watched our event with author of Marmee , Sarah Miller, I highly recommend it! Sarah’s approach to writing from existing characters’ perspectives is incredibly impressive. I’m so looking forward to hearing your thoughts on this book! Find discussion questions below…

What were your interpretations of Beth and Amy before reading Marmee and how have they changed? 4. The author explained that listening to audiobooks opens her eyes to beloved characters in a new way.
