Before becoming a world-famous author of literature for young people, Louise May Alcott (1832-1888) worked as a nurse during the Civil War, fought against slavery, and was one of the first participants in the movement for women's suffrage. Having started writing children's books, she achieved unprecedented fame and wealth. She looked at the world and wrote about it the same way she lived - with faith in the future, with love and compassion for people. Loyalty to the truth of life and high ideals, humor and inextinguishable optimism inherent in her work will always attract young and adult readers to her books. 'Good Wives' is a continuation of 'Little Women', a sincere and touching novel about the childhood and youth of four sisters. Margaret, Joe, Bess and Amy are so different, so unique. They cope with difficulties together, experience sorrows and joys, dream of the future and go through a difficult path of growing up. And having already become adult girls, they face new worries. Vividly and fascinatingly describing their fate.
