So Long, Little Women Cousins Nieves, Ada, Luz and Lola see themselves reflected in Meg, Jo, Beth and Amy, the four sisters of Louisa- May Alcott's classic Little Women, who they used to copy in their games as children, and in some ways have governed the courses of their lives. This is a splendid novel about desire, fate, happiness and delusion, in which Marcela Serrano revisits a classic to reveal what is ever-present and unrelinquishable.
