If you’ve been reading my blog, you probably know that I loved The Lost Summer of Louisa May Alcott by Kelly O’Connor McNees. In fact, I loved it so much that it was my pick of the month last April. Since she’s local, Kelly also wrote me a guest post about Haunted Chicago History during my Chicago Author Month last October.
Since Kelly is now my own personal Louisa May Alcott expert, Nicole and I also had her on to talk with us about Louisa and Little Women for our most recent episode of What’s Old is New.
I know not everyone is able to get to books in hardcover, but now The Lost Summer of Louisa May Alcott is in paperback!
Oh, and I have two copies to give away to people with US mailing addresses, courtesy of Berkeley Trade paperback.

Yay! I read this one around Christmastime and really enjoyed it. Good luck, everyone!
I really loved this book, too! McNees did a great job blending fact and fiction – hope the paperback release and giveaway brings plenty of new people to enjoy it as well!
I was surprised how much I liked this book. And how much I didn’t like Bronson Alcott (I wonder how much of his character was based on fact). Good luck to everyone in the giveaway.
Pretty much his entire character, from what I can tell. I specifically asked Kelly to give us some detail about Bronson on the podcast, if you’re interested in knowing more.
I THINK it was this book that was narrated by a preferred narrator of mine (can’t exactly remember who…maybe the girl that narrated Revolution?) so I need to see if I can get my hands on that.
P.S. Yes, it was the same woman who narrated Revolution (Emily Janice Card). Incredible. I just ordered this on audio.
I loved this book. I love the cover of the paperback.
I read this last winter and loved finding another glimpse into Louisa’s development and story. Thanks!
Ooh, I hadn’t heard about this book. I know I would love it. I went Orchard House in Concord, MA last Sept. I wanted to just sit at her desk where she wrote ‘Little Women’, and imagine her life ALL DAY.
I’ve been wanting to read this one but haven’t gotten around to it yet. Thanks for the chance to win a copy.
I’ve been dying to read this one!
I wish I would have known about your What’s Old is New podcast about Little Women. It is one of my top fav books of all time! I am definitely going to try to go back and listen to it.
Thanks for the giveaway!
Loved what I’ve seen of this book so far and the author’s clear affection for Louisa — as I’m a slavish LM Alcott fan myself (of both her and her books), I can’t wait to read this one. Thanks for the giveaway!
