Little Women on Masterpiece

Louisa May Alcott's semi-autobiographical coming-of-age drama centers on four very different sisters as they embark on the journey from childhood to adulthood during the American Civil War. With the help of their mother, Marmee, Jo, Meg, Beth and Amy March navigate what it means to be a young woman, experiencing everything from sibling rivalry and first love to loss and marriage. Set in Concord, Mass., the three-episode series is scripted by Heidi Thomas and directed by Vanessa Caswill.
