bakrafty1 's review for:

March by Geraldine Brooks
2.75
challenging emotional sad tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

The story was compelling but Mr. March’s humanity and frailties made me not fully enjoy this book. I wanted him to be the wholesome character we barely know from Little Women. Instead, he is a fully 3-dimensional character with faults and a few betrayals that were hard to read albeit true to the realities of the civil war.
Warning: if you wish to have the March family remain as presented by LMAlcott, skip this “fan fiction”.
