Saoirse Ronan's Jo is an instant cult classic after her portrayal in the Academy award winning 'Little Women'. I mean, who isn't in love with everything Greta Gerwig touches? Well, much like finding out there's an extra Harry Potter you haven't read, the Little Women saga continues. Our following of Jo, literature's favourite feminist rebel, concludes with 'Jo's Boys'. Ten years after 'Little Men', Jo's Boys are making their way in the world, and always returning back to their loving Jo and her husband, Professor Bhaer, at their school Plumfield. Led by our favourite girls, the boys must navigate struggles, love and find their place in the world. Drama, sailors, doctors, another fierce tomboy to fall for, and even murder, make this another classic by Alcott.
