About the Book

Good Wives is a novel by Louisa May Alcott, first published in 1869. It is the sequel to her novel Little Women and continues the story of the March sisters: Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy. The novel follows the sisters as they navigate the challenges of adulthood, including marriage, motherhood, and career choices. Meg marries John Brooke and becomes a mother, while Jo struggles to find her place in the world as a writer. Beth's health deteriorates, and Amy travels to Europe to pursue her dream of becoming an artist. The novel explores themes of love, family, sacrifice, and the pursuit of happiness. It is a heartwarming and inspiring story that has captured the hearts of readers for generations.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.
