Excellent story! Louisa May Alcott is clearly capable to write more than just sweet stories like Little Women. I just couldn't stop reading Behind A Mask. Alcott knows how to make you like all characters, no detestable old-fashioned villain here!
Best thing I read in ages (and I'm a lit major).
this is a great book, the author has done a terrific job accentuating the characters as well as the plot and settings. this will captivae the readers for sure.
