cedahl 's review for:

March by Geraldine Brooks
4.75
dark emotional funny informative sad tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

An emotional gut punch and a fascinating look at an often-overlooked aspect of the Civil War. Mr. March and Marmee are mysterious figures in Little Women, and this book fleshes them out in rich and raw detail, presenting a gritty, less sanitized version of that world, but still with wry humor and beauty.
