Marchby Geraldine Brooks |
Judy Stanton:
March is taken from the novel Little Women, telling the story of the girl's
father as he goes off to fight in the Civil War. I enjoyed the
descriptions of the varied circumstances in which March finds
himself and think that Geraldine Brooks probably did a lot
of research to make this historical fiction novel come to life.
I have read all of Brooks' books and find her to be an amazingly versatile writer.
With People of the Book and March, she intertwines relationships,
family and history in a most interesting and insightful way.
A good read; probably better if you are a lover of Little Women.
Rating: ****
