Synopsis:
The eldest of four daughters in 1860s America struggles with her literary muse, selling clichéd stories to bolster the family income, until their own lives provide her with material for what will become a classic novel.
Review:
Refreshing treatment of an oft-filmed classic, requiring attentive viewing as it jumps around the chronology, and full of strong performances of wilful characters. One can see the appeal of the material for the creator of Frances Ha; she even has Jo run through the streets of NYC!
