March by Geraldine Brooks

March by Geraldine Brooks

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.

Geraldine Brooks is the author of four books, including March, which won the Pulitzer Prize, and Caleb's Crossing, People of the Book, and Year of Wonders, which were all international blockbusters. She has also written the nonfiction titles Nine Pieces of Desire and Foreign Letters, both of which have received critical praise. Caleb's Crossing, her most recent novel, was a finalist for the Langum Prize in American Historical Fiction and won the New England Book Award for Fiction and the Christianity Today Book Award. She was born and reared in Australia and now lives with her husband, novelist Tony Horwitz, on Martha's Vineyard. This is her debut novel.
