A ten-year-old girl, Susan, on a farm in Massachusetts is happily surprised by the new neighbors, and gets to be friends with them all, especially ten-year-old Louey (Louisa May Alcott), who've started a commune called Fruitlands there.
I really really enjoyed this book! Told in a stream-of-consciousness style, in first-person. Susan lives with her father and aunt. Her mother had died giving birth to her. Her father is distant and difficult to talk to. Her aunt is a good, generous person. Susan has a stammer, and is reluctant to meet people. All the characters and major events at Fruitlands are real. Susan and her family are the creation of the author.
