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.

Amazing purchase, so happy with it
Color: 3. Weathered Grey, Color: 3. Weathered Grey
Amazing purchase, it’s so beautiful, I love it so much! Been working from home, and had to turn my kitchen table into a table/work desk hybrid. I was sick of all the clutter on it, so I got this shelf and it worked like a charm. It’s so pretty, great quality, and the PERFECT SIZE. I bolted it into the wall right above my table and it’s really sturdy. The materials and design are beautiful and very high quality (especially for the reasonable price- I could see home stores charging $100 for this, easy). My only complaint is that they didn’t drill pilot holes in the wood planks, so screwing in the metal side pieces was a little annoying... I don’t think it would be possible without at least an electric screwdriver (or drill). Other than that, installing it was fine and now I love it so much. I’m tempted to get more for the other rooms in my apartment- it’s really the perfect shelf. It’s super multi-functional for organization/storage and decor + very affordable for the superior quality and appearance.

Easy way to have homemade looking storage/display!
Color: 1. Carbonized Black, Color: 1. Carbonized Black
I wanted something that didn't look cookie cutter, like I bought it at Home Depot. This is very high quality and the perfect size for any small spot that you want to highlight. The quality is excellent. It has a real rustic vibe. I couldn’t wait to find it the perfect “home” in my apartment.
It's sturdy enough to hold a bunch of big books without bowing and can just be wiped down. It was really easy to put up without much trouble.
This shelf looks great!
UPDATE: PICTURE OF FINISHED PROJECT! Adorable!
