Good Wives (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781162664712)

Good Wives is a classic novel by Louisa May Alcott, first 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 the challenges of adulthood. The book follows the sisters as they grow up, get married, and start families of their own. Meg marries John Brooke and becomes a mother, while Jo struggles to balance her writing career with her desire for love and companionship. Beth's health declines, and Amy marries Laurie, Jo's childhood friend. The novel explores themes of love, family, and the importance of finding one's place in the world. Good Wives is a heartwarming and timeless tale of sisterhood and the joys and sorrows of growing up.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.
