Tonight, we’ll read the next chapter of “Good Wives” written by Louisa May Alcott titled “Jo’s Journal”. This is also known as the second half of the “Little Women” novel and is considered the 33rd chapter as part of that work as a whole.

Our last episode was the chapter titled “Tender Troubles” and in it, Beth’s behavior worries Mrs. March. After observing Beth in secret, Jo concludes that Beth must have fallen in love with Laurie. Jo also suspects that Laurie has fallen in love with herself. To put a damper on that, Jo decides to move away and work for a family friend for a while, to give herself some space.
