I must admit that I loved this author's last release [b:Caleb's Crossing|9684523|Caleb's Crossing|Geraldine Brooks|http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1303284000s/9684523.jpg|14572532], I was sucked in to the story, loved the characters, etc. So when I was told that this was the choice for our live book cl...

March - Geraldine Brooks I had high hopes for this book, but it just didn't deliver. It had a few interesting moments, but for the most part I found it boring. Such a shame for an idea with so much potential.
For me, this was a novel about principles and how holding to these directs all our choices, our path in the world. The story takes place in the early days of the civil war. Author Geraldine Brooks elaborates on the storyline in Little Women. Peter March, our titular hero, fell in love with Margaret ...
The problem with March is that it's tied in to a beloved children's story. While this might have been a terrific marketing ploy, (fan fiction often is, since it offers immediate context and recognition,) it created two very different stories. The first: a reworking of one absent and one present (and...
This is on the lunch table at work, so it will take me a while to read - although what will probably happen is that I'll get caught up and take it home to finish. One line plot synopsis: what was happening with Colonel March while the Little Women were back at home.

March is a is really well-written and researched work of fiction based on real life people/events. I am always intrigued when an author tak...
This is the story of Mr March, the absent father from the little women's of Louisa M. Alcott. It follows him through his journey as a chaplain and his reflections of the past which brought him to where he is now.Whilst I enjoy the writings, all through the book I feel like picking him up and just s...
This is one of the most Pulizer-worthy novels I've read in a long while. The novel tells the previously untold story of the absent father in Louisa May Alcott's Little Women. In Little Women, the reader only gets to know Peter March through his letters sent home to his family from the Civil War. Of ...
I wasn't sure how I'd like a Civil War book. Not my favorite time period, but this was excellent. This was my introduction to Geraldine Brooks as a novelist. I'd read her non-fiction Nine Parts of Desire, but none of her fiction. Now I've read all of her novels and enjoyed every one. This is my f...
