Three years from Little Women, this is the second story about the March sisters, Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy and their friend Laurie as each grows from childhood into adulthood. Life promises adventures, fulfillment and painful trials along the way, marriage, disappointment in love and a tragedy which touches them all, each of them finally finds happiness, if not always in the way they expect.

Review of 'Good Wives' on 'Goodreads'

2 stars

I don't know why the Little Women series is still popular. The writing isn't particularly enjoyable and the story is boring. The morals are also very old-fashioned. I didn't even like it for the depiction of the living conditions and obligations of the time as it didn't teach me much. There's not a lot to learn except that most people were poor and that women were expected to serve their husbands. And that's nothing new, is it?

I only kept reading because I wanted to watch the film adaption.
