Little Women is a story of four sisters called: Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy, the March sisters. Little Women tells you about how the girls grow, and their life. I think the characters are very good and well described. I love the story line, and it was really interesting to see how they grew. It also has some great life lessons and I never got bored. Good Wives is the sequel to Little Women, it is very interesting as you follow the 4 March sisters as they grow, get married, have children, and go through sad and happy times. It's interesting to see what they do as a living. I never got bored, and in some points I felt as if I was there with them. If you like books like Anne of Green Gables you should try this out.
