I read Little Women when about 8 and Good Wives a year or two later. I put LW, as being her iconic book. I first learned of the existence of the American Civil War from reading LW.
As a child I wasn't all that appreciative of LW. I liked Jo -- I suppose one is meant to -- but disliked Beth and Amy. And of course as a child I didn't think much of Jo's marriage. For me as an adult it rings fairly true.
