출판사 설명
Winner of the Pulitzer Prize--a powerful love story set against the backdrop of the Civil War, from the author of The Secret Chord.
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 would advise readers….
A well written and enjoyable read BUT I wish I had read the author’s notes before reading this book. Without the background on what the author did (and this was the first time I had read her work) I was aware that this was a tale of what Mr March was up to in Little Women but nothing else. I couldn’t believe it had won a Pulitzer with all the name dropping going on! (Insert eye roll here.). I was annoyed and confused and not unappreciative; I have learnt my lesson. I do think the character of Grace could have been further developed. I can’t believe that she wasn’t terrified by Mr Marchs advances considering the time and her own birthright. 4/5 stars and I would recommend and recommend as a book club read..
March
This was an interesting twist on the book Little Women. It is told from the father’s Captain March point of view. It recounts his life as a young man and is love and marriage to Marmee. It also details his involvement in the Civil War and the difficulties he encountered. He loved his ‘Little Women’.
Excellent read
Best civil war historical fiction I’ve ever read.
