Collins Classics: Good Wives

Description

HarperCollins is proud to present its incredible range of best-loved, essential classics.

‘Love is the only thing that we can carry with us when we go, and it makes the end so easy.’

In mid-nineteenth-century Massachusetts, Meg, Jo, Beth and Amy March continue to encounter both joys and sorrows along life’s path, as they journey into womanhood both close to home and further away. The highs and lows of the four young women’s lives are shared with each other, and supported by the bond of their sisterhood.

This second part of ‘Little Women’ – sometimes published in a single volume – contains all the warmth and charm for which Louisa May Alcott’s writing is universally admired.

Author Biography

Louisa May Alcott was a 19th-century American novelist, best known for her novel Little Women, as well as for her much-loved sequels, Little Men and Jo’s Boys.

Following financial hardship, Alcott started writing at an early age to support her family, sometimes under the pen name of A. M. Barnard. In addition to being an author, Alcott was an abolitionist and a feminist. Her work continues to be among the most popular children’s fiction today.
