Set ten years after 'Little Men', 'Jo's Boys' is the final novel in the unofficial series that follows the ups and downs of the March family. The Plumfield boys - including rebellious Dan, sailor Emil and promising musician Nat - are now grown up, and finding their places in the world. As they deal with the challenges of growing up, finding careers and falling in love, Jo remains at the heart of the family, steady in her love for her 'boys' as she steers them through young adulthood, and even murder. Here is a charming and bittersweet conclusion to the story of a family first introduced to us in 'Little Women'.
