Pulitzer Prize winner – A powerful love story set against the backdrop of the Civil War, from the author of The Secret Chord.
Geraldine Brooks draws on the character of absentee father March from Louisa May Alcott’s beloved classic Little Women and weaves a story “full of the pain of love and marriage and the torment of war on the heart and mind of one unforgettable man” (Sue Monk Kidd). Brooks tells the story of March, who leaves his family to help the Union Army in the Civil War, in “immaculate writing style” (USA Today). His experiences will radically change his marriage and challenge his most firmly held beliefs. A gorgeously written and completely original story filled with details from another time, March establishes Geraldine Brooks as a celebrated writer of historical fiction.
