Literary Letter

Dear Mamou,
Hello! How are you? I am reading Little Women by Louisa May Alcott. The genre is realistic fiction. I really, really enjoy it. Here is my summary.
Little Women is about four girls; Meg, Amy, Jo, and Beth; that have problems in their lives. Amy; the youngest; has to go to mean Aunt March's house. Meg; the oldest; gets teased by funny Laurie next door. Jo; the second oldest; has a bubbling temper that explodes, and then Beth had a baby die on her lap from scarlet fever, and then Beth caught it! A problem for all of them was that Mother went away to cure Father when Beth was sick.
There is a lot of happiness, too. Jo and Laurie have jokes and races. Meg enjoys herself doing who-knows-what. Beth plays the piano and does other things, too. Amy draws and does somethings that I do not know.
That is mostly what I've read in the last couple of days.
The character I like the most is Beth because she never complains and I respect that.
Your granddaughter,
Palina
