Ickiness of marrying your first cousin aside, I still enjoy Rose. Mostly because of this: "...no woman should give her happiness into the keeping of a man without fixed principles."As a twenty-year-old who read Bridget Jones's Diary not too many months ago, Rose in Bloom contained some serious culture shock. Its been ages since I read Little Women or Eight Cousins, and I had completely forgotten how Alcott is so very pure. The narrators moral judgment is unassailable. Though Alcotts forward claims there is no moral to this story, the moral just cant help itself: Alcotts views on morality, education, and character soak through every fiber of the story. She has very firm,
I first read this sequel to Eight Cousins when I was 12 years old. I didn't realize it at the time, but it was my first romance novel. Rose is 20 now, and has just returned from a 2-year trip abroad with Uncle Alec and her friend Phebe. All the boys, save Jamie, are grown men now, and Rose feels awkward when she realizes the aunts expect her to marry one of her cousins. (Ick, but I guess this was OK among the wealthy Victorians, to keep the fortune in the family.) I adored and admired Rose when
A few years ago I read Eight Cousins and Rose in Bloom. I had them both on my e-ink, so I decided to re-read Rose in Bloom.I liked it better than I did last time and greatly admired Rose. Perhaps it was because I understood more of it than I did when I was 8-10ish. At that age, Eight Cousins was much preferable, and Rose in Bloom was just a good sequel.May I say that I love Mac, and I'm so happy with how everything turned out but because I knew what was going to happen the whole time I was kinda
This book made a deep impression on my as a child and it was one of the only books that made me cry as a child. This is the sequal to, "Eight Cousins". As an adult, I am sure I would find it over sentimental, but, I loved it so as a child, that I must still recommend it. Sweet and endearing - give it a try.I was right, I read this last week - the first time since childhood.It is very sentimental and borderline annoying to read as an adult. Rose is too good. While my childhood self found much to

I would have rated this 5-star but for the fact that I do not believe in cousins marrying. It is a beautiful story, however, and one I would definitely read again.
