Been thoroughly enjoying being part of In the Bookcase’s Louisa May Alcott Reading Challenge this year – and so, in honor of the final week, I’m running a Comment Challenge to give away a copy of The Courtship of Jo March.

A bit about the bookI’m one of those readers in the awkward position of being utterly in love with Louisa May Alcott’s Little Women yet wishing things had worked out differently for Jo, Laurie and Beth. Whilst on holiday I started doodling, “What if Laurie had proposed like this…” and The Courtship of Jo March was born.
It’s essentially for everyone who has ever wished Beth had lived, Laurie had chased Jo a la Darcy, and for the sort of happy ending that almost defies belief (for all who are anxious about the fate of Plumfield in this variation, I’ll add this reassurance: there is a school, just not in the form of the original ;)).
