Tonight, we’ll read the next chapter of “Good Wives” written by Louisa May Alcott titled “All Alone”. This is also known as the second half of the “Little Women” novel and is considered the 42nd chapter as part of that work as a whole.

In our last chapter, Laurie tries to recover from Jo’s rejection by turning to music, but soon realizes his love for her has faded into affection. His bond with Amy deepens through letters, and she quietly rejects another suitor. With news of Beth’s passing, Laurie rushes to Amy’s side in Switzerland, where love quietly blossoms between them.

Tonight’s chapter returns to Jo, amidst her grief and isolation.
