March: A Novel
by Geraldine Brooks
🏆 Winner of the 2006 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction
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."
Year of Wonders
by Geraldine Brooks
Although this is not a crime novel as crime novels go, it is a remarkable story about the Great Plague of London and holds the reader's attention as if a terrible crime has been committed and wondering what the outcome can be.
