Her recently discovered first novel, The Inheritance, written when Alcott was just 17, offers readers a fascinating look at the birth of a remarkable career. The Inheritance, set in an English country manor, is the story of Edith Adelon, an Italian orphan brought to England by Lord Hamilton as a companion for his children. With a charm reminiscent of Jane Austen's novels, Alcott's plot sets love and courtesy against depravity and dishonor -- and with the help of a secret inheritance, allows virtue to prevail.In their Introduction, Joel Myerson and Daniel Shealy relate their fortuitous discovery of Alcott's manuscript draft of The Inheritance (preserved at the Houghton Library of Harvard). They explore the forces -- both literary and personal -- that shaped the novel, and study how it foreshadowed Alcott's later work.

Perfect smaller bag for your shoulder
Color: Burgundy
This is a great little bag well made, and holds a cell phone, a wallet and a few other necessary items. The clasp is quality as is the strap. The only complaint is that the leather is very hard. I thought it would be softer. I have had many compliments on it. Some people saying it looked like a coach others thought it was another brand name. Definitely recommend if you don’t want to spend a lot of money and have some class hanging from your shoulder.

Cute night out bag
Color: Burgundy, Color: Burgundy
This bag is cute for a night out, I love the material and the color. It comes with two straps, one is a crossbody strap and other is shoulder strap. The shoulder strap is long enough and is perfect length. I foresee this bag the last for a while since the leather feels thick. If I had to change one thing it would be the hardware…. I would change it to real brass and this bag would be perfect in my eyes. I even purchased it in black after I got this one. It fits my thick compact wallet, my keys, my dijo pocket camera, lipstick and earphones comfortably.

Color and Material
Color: Coffee
Color is not as described; it is much lighter than the photos. It appears more like a toffee color, while I was hoping for a deeper brown shade. Additionally, the material does not feel like leather.
