Good Wives

De: Louisa May Alcott

Narrado por: Lorelei King

Good Wives continues the story of the Little Women, the March sisters Meg, Jo, Beth and Amy, as they approach womanhood. Meg longs to begin her new life with John Brook, though they can never be rich; Jo returns to devote herself to literature, and to Beth, whose illness has left her weak but whose serenity shines through the household; and Amy has gone to Aunt March, bribed with the offer of drawing lessons. Laurie remains irrepressible, with his high spirits and sense of fun, though his pursuit of Jo’s affections seems unlikely to succeed…

A welcoming home reunion

During a challenging time in my life, I eagerly listened to “Good Wives” by Louisa May Alcott.
The beautiful story reminded me that the bonds of love given to us by friends and family truly gift us with the hope we need to continue our life journey with gratitude.

Sisters❣️ Love❣️ And, finding purpose❣️

Follow four sisters, Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy March, as they navigate domesticity, work, and true love.

The family, headed by their beloved mother Marmee, must struggle to make ends meet. Their father is away, in the war. And, their neighbors, the wealthy Mr. Laurence, and his high-spirited, down-to-earth grandson Laurie become like family, always a blessing.

As the sisters go from childhood to womenhood, they conclude that virtue and love are better than wealth.

What a lovely story. I would have loved to have listened to this. The only problem was that the narration was in a rather soft voice, and the characters voices were very loud. Where are the sound engineers on these? Incredibly jarring. You could either turn it down to not hear the loud character voices and then not be able to hear the narrator, or, you could turn it up to hear the narrator and have the character voices be far too loud. Oh well.

A classic .

Captivating. Wholesome but not stodgy. Kept my interest and filled in many narratives from “Little Women.”
