Drawn from the author’s own youthful experiences, Little Women remains one of the best-loved children’s stories of all time. At its heart are the four March sisters, growing up together in a small New England community: Meg, the eldest, pretty and longing to be a lady; Jo, fifteen and ungainly, unconventional, and determined to become an author; Beth, a delicate child of thirteen with a gift for music; and Amy, a blonde beauty of twelve. Their domestic adventures, their efforts to boost the family income, their friendship with the neighbouring Lawrence family, and their later love affairs are told with all the freshness and charm that first won readers over. Good Wives continues their story some three years on, as the sisters, now young adults, face the inevitable trials and traumas of everyday life in pursuit of their own individual happiness.
