The other Alcott : [a novel] / Elise Hooper. by Hooper, Elise. Harper Luxe, 2017. Call #: LP FICTION HOO Subjects Alcott, May, 1840-1879 -- Fiction.   Alcott, Louisa May, 1832-1888. Little women -- Fiction.   Sisters -- Fiction.   Women artists -- Fiction.   Women authors -- Fiction.   Artists -- Fiction. ISBN:  9780062743312 (large print trade pbk.) Edition:  Large-print ed. Description:  491 p. (large print) ; 22 cm. Summary:  "We all know the story of the March sisters, heroines of Louisa May Alcott's Little Women. But while everyone cheers on Jo March, based on Louisa herself, Amy March is often the least favorite sister. Now it's time to learn the truth about the real Amy, Louisa's sister, May. Stylish, outgoing, creative, May Alcott grows up longing to experience the wide world beyond Concord, Massachusetts. While her sister Louisa crafts stories, May herself is a talented and dedicated artist, taking lessons in Boston, turning down a marriage proposal from a well-off suitor, and facing scorn for entering what is very much a man's profession. Life for the Alcott family has never been easy, so when Louisa's Little Women is published, its success eases the financial burdens they've faced for so many years. Everyone agrees the novel is charming, but May is struck to the core by the portrayal of selfish, spoiled Amy March. Is this what her beloved sister really thinks of her? So May embarks on a quest to discover her own true identity, as an artist and a woman. From Boston to Rome, London, and Paris, this brave, talented, and determined woman forges an amazing life of her own, making her so much more than merely The Other Alcott."--From publisher.
