Sinossi
Cinque anni prima di sfondare con Piccole donne, tra il 1862 e il 1863 la trentenne Louisa May Alcott prestò servizio allo Union Hospital di Georgetown. Dalle lettere inviate alla famiglia durante le sei settimane da volontaria trasse le tragicomiche avventure dell'infermiera militare Tribulation Periwinkle, pubblicate con il titolo Hospital Sketches nel 1863. La traduzione, con il testo inglese a fronte, è a cura di Sara Grosoli, con una prefazione di Daniela Matronola.
