March by Geraldine Brooks
4.0

The book [b:Little Women|1934|Little Women|Louisa May Alcott|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1562690475l/1934._SY75_.jpg|3244642] by [a:Louisa May Alcott|1315|Louisa May Alcott|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1200326665p2/1315.jpg] is a classic that tells of the women of the March family. The father in the story is a minor character as he is away at war.

This book tells his story, predominantly during his time away at war but some background of his youth.

I liked this book. Though I admit that i have not read the inspiration book, but have seen many movie adaptations. I can see why this won a Pulitzer.

I can also see why many do not like this book, especially how the main character comes across as naive and idealistic. But honestly I found that a believable thing for a man raised in the North turned chaplain during the antebellum and war times of the United States.
