So Many Beginnings Book Review

“So Many Beginnings ” is a good book that you can read online or download to read it later. Before starting the reading or downloading, here is the summary of the book that you can read. North Carolina, 1863. As the American Civil War rages on, the Freedpeople’s Colony of Roanoke Island is blossoming, a haven for the recently emancipated. Black people have begun building a community of their own, a refuge from the shadow of the “old life.” It is where the March family has finally been able to safely put down roots with four young daughters: Meg, a teacher who longs to find love and start a family of her own. Jo, a writer whose words are too powerful to be contained. Beth, a talented seamstress searching for a higher purpose. Amy, a dancer eager to explore life outside her family’s home.

Brief Summary So Many Beginnings by Bethany C. Morrow

I was not disappointed. Morrow captures the spirits and personalities of the March women, little and big, perfectly while adapting to the circumstances of newly free Black women in 1863-67.All the large story arcs are here as in the original, but the details are not slavishly followed so they don’t necessarily have the same resolution as in Alcott’s. (By the way, I liked the nod she gave to the original in having their father’s given name be Alcott.) I have to say, I like Morrow’s resolutions better.The secondary characters did not map exactly to the original: there is no Aunt March, I would guess because it would be unlikely for people who had been slaves to have also had a wealthy. But the emotions stirred by the secondary characters are still valid, and some of the events the same. Jo (Johanna here rather than Josephine) still meets Lorie (Laurie) at a social event. Beth (short for Bethlehem) still is fragile and falls terribly ill.
