March: A Novel

by Geraldine Brooks

Geraldine Brooks’ March tells the story of the father from Louisa May Alcott’s Little Women, who had left them to fight for the Unionist cause in the American Civil War. A lushly written work of historical fiction and a tragic love story. The LA Times described it as “a beautifully wrought story about how war dashes ideals, unhinges moral certainties and drives a wedge of bitter experience and unspeakable memories between husband and wife.”
