Good Wives - Little Women Book Two by Louisa May Alcott read by Anne Undeland

Following her critically acclaimed narration of Little Women Part One, narrator Anne Undeland picks up the story from where it left off with Good Wives, a.k.a. Little Women Part Two.

Three years after the curtain closed on the first book, we're brought back into the March family fold, opening with Meg’s wedding. No longer little girls dreaming of “castles in the air”, Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy are now young women, each with her own share of joy and heartache, and each with her own path to forge. 

What mark will the sisters leave on the world? Will they marry? How will they navigate both life and death in all its complication and beauty? Alcott answers these questions and more with her characteristic grace, singular wit and her abiding faith in the power of love. A classic for all ages.

Exclusive to Audible, the audiobook is followed by a stimulating conversation between Anne Undeland and Alison Larkin, narrator of The Complete Novels of Jane Austen, about the similarities the two great authors shared - especially when writing about marriage and a woman’s right to refuse.

"Narrator Anne Undeland captivates listeners with her exquisite narration. Listeners are effortlessly transported into the lives of the March family in Civil War-era New England. Undeland creates distinct and vibrant portraits of these beloved characters - Meg, Jo, Beth, Amy, Marmee, and Laurie. Themes of women’s roles, family, and sacrifice for others remain relevant for contemporary listeners." (AudioFile Magazine)
