Moods
Louisa May Alcott
Moods
"Moods" by Louisa May Alcott is a novel published in 1864. Young Sylvia Yule navigates the passage from girlhood to womanhood, caught between two men: Geoffrey Moor, whom she cherishes as a friend, and Adam Warwick, whom she passionately loves. When circumstances lead her to marry Moor without true love, Sylvia must confront the consequences of acting on impulse rather than principle. Her struggle between duty and desire unfolds as a meditation on marriage, independence, and the heart's unpredictable moods.

About the author
Louisa May Alcott (1832–1888) was an American novelist who wrote Little Women in a few months, at a publisher's request for "a book for girls", and drew it from her own childhood with three sisters in Concord, Massachusetts. Her family were abolitionists whose house was a stop on the Underground Railroad, and she served as a nurse in a Union hospital during the Civil War until typhoid fever ended it. The book's success supported her family for the rest of her life. She also wrote sensation stories under the name A. M. Barnard, a fact not discovered until the 1940s.
