Based on 8 reviews on
From Louisa May Alcott's beloved classic Little Women, Geraldine Brooks has animated the character of the absent father, March, and crafted a story "filled with the ache of love and marriage and with the power of war upon the mind and heart of one unforgettable man" (Sue Monk Kidd). With "pitch-perfect writing" (USA Today), Brooks follows March as he leaves behind his family to aid the Union cause in the Civil War. His experiences will utterly change his marriage and challenge his most ardently held beliefs. A lushly written, wholly original tale steeped in the details of another time, March secures Geraldine Brooks's place as a renowned author of historical fiction.

I sort of accidentally have three different copies of Little Women, plus a graphic novel version AND the Geraldine Brooks one that's like... about Mr. March??? I don't need another copy. But I found a really pretty one. Like... really pretty.

@kanupriyakapoor Nothing beats a great book! Alice I Have Been by Melanie Benjamin is similar in concept, this one is about the person who inspired Alice in Wonderland. March by Geraldine Brooks(love her work), puts the father of the March sisters from Little Women at the forefront.

"Inspired... A disturbing, supple, and deeply satisfying story, put together with craft and care and imagery worthy of a poet."--The Cleveland Plain Dealer
