Little Women is a classic, right? But what if you made it modern? What if you made it Manc?! Daisy Buchanan's 'All Grown Up' takes the challenge and soars. Louisa is thrilled - her girls are all grown up, and spreading their wings...until they all move home, apparently for good! Follow the messy family dynamics, keep an eye out for the mention of House of Books & Friends in the pages, and reunite with the March family in this new retelling in a wonderful homage to Louisa May Alcott's original text. Daisy has been a long-time bookseller favourite, as well as one of the first authors we ever got to host an event for back in 2023, and we are absolutely OBSESSED with her new book!
