Having so many relations overwhelms Rose at first. With Alec as her guide, Rose is properly introduced to the other residents of “Aunt-Hill,” including Alec’s four sisters and their sons. The elderly women’s quiet household suits Rose’s mourning, but the arrival of her appointed guardian, Uncle Alec, challenges the status quo. She’s sent to live with her maiden great aunts, the matriarchs of her father’s wealthy Boston family who she’s never met. Thirteen-year-old Rose Campbell never knew her mother, and the death of her father leaves her reeling and hopelessly lonely. A recently orphaned girl meets her extended family-including seven rambunctious cousins-for the first time in this charming novel from Louisa May Alcott, author of Little Women! ![]()
