Tonight, we’ll read the first part of the ninth chapter of “Little Women” by American author Louisa May Alcott, published in 1868, titled “Meg Goes to Vanity Fair”. Following the lives of the four March sisters—Meg, Jo, Beth and Amy—the novel details their passage from childhood to womanhood and is loosely based on the author and her sisters. In the previous chapter, "Jo Meets Apollyon" (Napolean), Jo comes to terms with her fiery temper when little sister Amy falls through thin ice due to Jo’s negligence. -- read by 'V' -- Learn more about your ad choices.
