About the Author

Louisa May Alcott (1832-1888) was an American writer. She is best known for her autobiographical novel Little Women (1868), set in the Alcott family home, Orchard House in Concord, Massachusetts. Little Women was published in 1868. This novel is loosely based on her childhood experiences with her three sisters. Alcott based the heroine from Little Women, Jo, on herself, but whereas Jo marries at the end of the story, Alcott never married.

This was my first foray into Kindle book downloads (free), and it was simple and easy to do - and the book, picked randomly, was actually really good - serendipity at it's most basic level!

5.0 out of 5 stars Alcott's first novel 7 April 2002
By Anne Boyd Rioux - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
As Alcott's first novel, this book is much more than a precursor to Little Women. It was also her attempt at serious literary recognition. Its intertexualities with the Transcendentalists, particularly Thoreau and Marget Fuller, make it an important book, as does its serious examination of a taboo subject in the 1860s: marriage and divorce. Although Alcott was not satisfied with the book, due to the many cuts required by her publisher, Moods exhibits a very ambitious Alcott finding her voice as a writer and addressing the difficult and controversial subjects with which women were wrestling. Alcott's first novel was influenced by Jane Eyre and The Scarlet Letter and bears reading alongside those two classics.

4.0 out of 5 stars Better than its repuatation suggests 2 April 2001
By Shannon Brown - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
I was basically forced to read this novel for a college survey course in American Romanticism. I had read 'Little Women' in high school and didn't think much of it. Too morally heavy-handed and contrived and not entertaining at all. 'Moods' suprised me. The same criticisms apply, but I did find the book a pleasure to read. The criticisms that the book places against the society of the times about women's behavioral expectations, while not exactly revolutionary, were well thought out and not as in-your-face as the messages found in 'Little Women'. The characters are not as one dimensional as in 'Little Women' and I thought Sylvia's dilemna was belieavable. Like I said before, I was suprised at how much I liked the book.
4.0 out of 5 stars Tragic 17 Jan 2013
By Lady Dark - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
Please not I read the revised version of this story, not the version that was first published. A tragic love tryangle were everyone ends up alone, or dead, not neccisarily in that order. Some preachyness to it, but not nearly as much as other works of hers I have read. I found I actually liked this better than little women, despite Silvia being the only character that got any development.
