Little Women & Good Wives

I am not afraid of storms, for I am learning how to sail my ship. American writer Louisa May Alcott gave the world one of the most beloved classics on the joys and sorrows and the journey of growing up, on sisterhood, family, love and life. A novel in two volumes, Little Women & Good Wives traces the life of the four March sisters, of vastly contrasting characters, being raised by their loving mother, Marmee, in a small New England town while their father serves in the American Civil War. The eldest, Meg, is beautiful and aspires to be a lady; Jo, is fifteen, stubborn, willful and wants to write books; the thirteen-year-old Beth is kind, shy and enjoys music; and Amy, the youngest, is a romantic and a little spoiled.
