From Louisa May Alcottas beloved classic "Little Women," Geraldine Brooks has animated the character of the absent father, March, and crafted a story afilled with the ache of love and marriage and with the power of war upon the mind and heart of one unforgettable mana (Sue Monk Kidd). With apitch-perfect writinga ("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 Brooksas place as a renowned author of historical fiction.

aInspired... A disturbing, supple, and deeply satisfying story, put together with craft and care and imagery worthy of a poet.a a"The Cleveland Plain Dealer"
aLouisa May Alcott would be well pleased.a a"The Economist"
