    About this audiobook

    The March sisters are among the most beloved characters in children's literature, and Good Wives - the second volume of Little Women - picks up where its predecessor left off. As Meg marries John, Jo is faced with a romantic dilemma of her own, while Amy travels to Europe and Beth becomes increasingly ill. In this sensitive and lively novel, Alcott - 'the Thackeray, the Trollope, of the nursery and the schoolroom', as Henry James called her - is on sparkling form.

      One of my favorites of all time! It’s such an enduring classic. I used to read it every Christmas and decided to start the tradition again.

      I really enjoyed the way the audiobook was recorded - the music, the narrator's voice. It was all very pleasant to listen to.
