![]() Love is the only thing that we can carry with us when we go, I enjoyed the way this book uses letters between the girls and Marmee, as well as focusing on where they are throughout the books. Not surprisingly due to the name of the book, this part mainly focuses on the sisters settling down into relationships and moving out of the family home. Good Wives is set 3 years after Little Women, when the sisters are presumably in their late teens. ![]() I then borrowed my boyfriend’s copy of the Penguin Paperback Classic (found here) which contains both parts so I could finish the story properly! Most editions of the book will contain both parts and will be commonly called Little Women in it’s entirety, but the Wordsworth children’s collectors edition I read ended at the end of part 1. My review for the first part can be found here. This review is for Good Wives, or part 2 of Little Women. The book includes a behind-the-scenes journey, including an author profile, a guide to who’s who, activities and more. ![]() Although they all face painful trials along the way – from Meg’s sad lesson in housekeeping to Laurie’s disappointment in love and a tragedy which touches them all – each of the girls finally finds happiness, if not always in the way they expect. Three years on from Little Women, the March girls and their friend Laurie are young adults with their futures ahead of them. Good Wives is the second story about the March family. ![]()
