Good Wives by Louisa May Alcott
slow-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? Character
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? Yes
- Diverse cast of characters? No
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated
3.0
The book I read was a bundle of “little women” and this. I never knew it was divided into a few parts, but I guess this is my review of the entire experience-
I don’t know how the hell child me read this so many times, since this book is Definitely not ploy driven or fast paced, and it’s quirky to think about how as a kid I tended to miss all the blatant messages about Christianity, and the non-stop lectures about morality, marring, and the role a woman needed to play in that period. Reading it now is super weird, but nostalgic. For it’s time tho- wow. (although I’m not sure what I felt about Jo changing her entire personality and marrying a dude that highly reminded me of her own father)
Anyways it’s ok
