Publisher's Synopsis
Good Wives is a novel by Louisa May Alcott, published in 1869. It is the sequel to her popular novel Little Women and continues the story of the March sisters, Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy, as they navigate adulthood and marriage. The novel begins with Meg's marriage to John Brooke and follows the sisters as they face new challenges and experiences in their lives. Jo travels to New York to pursue her writing career and meets a new friend, Professor Bhaer. Meanwhile, Beth's health declines and Amy travels to Europe to study art. The novel explores themes of family, love, and the struggles of growing up. Good Wives is a heartwarming and timeless story of sisterhood and the journey to adulthood.Amy looked relieved, but naughty Jo took her at her word, for during the first call she sat with every limb gracefully composed, every fold correctly draped, calm as a summer sea, cool as a snowbank, and as silent as the sphinx. In vain Mrs. Chester alluded to her `charming novel', and the Misses Chester introduced parties, picnics, the opera, and the fashions. Each and all were answered by a smile, a bow, and a demure ""Yes"" or ""No"" with the chill on.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
