I think the edition of Little Women that I read as a child must have included this book also, since I knew everything that happened in it. Not that that was bad. I enjoyed the description of the men the girls married and the description of how the romances proceeded. I remember being disappointed in how things turned out for two of the sisters, but I now am not disappointed any more understanding better how these choices came about.
The next of my piles of books was The Rejected Writer's Club. But having just read The Little Paris Bookshop followed by Good Wives, I decided I can't take any more saccharin at the moment so skipped the next pile and went to Robin Cook's Host. I will add my other two Alcott books to the The Rejected Writer's Club books. Host begins with a woman whose husband died during routine surgery at a nearby hospital being murdered in a horrible home invasion. Now another man, entering the same hospital to have routine surgery is rendered comatose and probably brain dead. Both hospital incidents are unexplained.
