Good Wives by Louisa May Alcott

Description

“Good Wives” is not a standalone book but rather the second part of Louisa May Alcott’s classic novel “Little Women.” “Little Women” was originally published in two volumes, with the first volume titled “Little Women” and the second volume titled “Good Wives.”

“Little Women” was initially published in 1868 and has since become a beloved classic of American literature. The novel follows the lives of the four March sisters—Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy—during and after the American Civil War. Each sister has her own aspirations, challenges, and character traits, and the novel explores themes of family, friendship, love, and personal growth.

“Good Wives” continues the story of the March sisters, picking up where “Little Women” left off. It follows the characters as they experience the joys and trials of adulthood, each sister pursuing her individual dreams and facing the realities of life.

In many modern editions of the book, both parts, “Little Women” and “Good Wives,” are usually combined under the title “Little Women,” with “Good Wives” forming the second part of the complete narrative. If you’re interested in reading the continuation of the March sisters’ story, you’ll likely find it included in any complete edition of “Little Women.”
