Excerpt from Good Wives: Being a Sequel to "Little Women"
Meg had spent the-time in working as well as waiting, growing womanly in character, wise in house witawy arts, and prettier than ever; for love is a mat heautifier. She had her girlish ambitions and hem-and felt some disappointment at the humble way in which the new life must begin. Ned Moflat had just married Sallie Gardiner, and Meg couldn't help contrastihg their fine house and carriage, many gifts, and splendid outfit, with her own, and secretly wishing she could have the same. But somehow envy and discontent soon vanished when she thought of all the patient love and labour John had put into the little home awaiting'her; and when they sat together in the twilight talking over their small plane, the future always grew so beautiful and bright, that she forgot Sallie's splendour, and felt herself the richest. Happiest girl in Christendom.

About the Author:
Louisa May Alcott was both an abolitionist and a feminist. She is best known for Little Women (1868), a semiautobiographical account of her childhood years with her sisters in Concord, Massachusetts. Alcott, unlike Jo, never married: ''... because I have fallen in love with so many pretty girls and never once the least bit with any man.'' She was an advocate of women's suffrage and was the first woman to register to vote in Concord, Massachusetts.
From AudioFile:
Alcott's "little women" continue their story in Good Wives, a tale that follows them into adulthood. Herbert brings characters as diverse as the guttural Mr. Baer and the Irish Hannah to life but struggles to differentiate the four girls, making Jo take on a rough, mannish tone while Beth is almost otherworldly. In truth, her voice is better suited to the older characters, whose scenes flow seamlessly until another youngster interjects a word. Listeners may find Herbert's deep intonations, while clear and consistent, too heavy for such a gentle tale. She paces the story well, though, and true fans of Alcott will find the interpretation of the work worth their time. K.R. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine
