What this book is about
Country girl Polly Milton visits her fashionable city friend Fanny and finds a world of shallow pleasures she refuses to admire. Years later, Polly makes her own way in Boston while staying true to her values. Alcott's novel is a gentle corrective to the gilded age, celebrating domestic virtue and honest work over fashion and wealth.
