susanbrooks 's review for:
March
by Geraldine Brooks
A fictitious account of the lives of fictitious characters -
the father & mother from Louisa May Alcott's Little Women books
(which were based upon her real family). I devoured Alcott as a kid,
but we recently reread Little Women in book club and it was quite saccharine. Brooks has expanded upon the father's stint in the Civil War,
and fleshed out the parents' characters as abolitionists and idealists in a tumultuous time. I admire her writing, and was really impressed with how she wove in elements of Louisa May Alcott's writing with her own gritty vision.
