kimmerbellum 's review for:
March
by Geraldine Brooks
I must admit for the first few pages I was worried this book might turn out to be boring, and I didn't find Mr March all that likeable, but he is very human and Brooks brings out all his uncertainties, inconsistencies, foolishness and flaws. Not only his, but those of his wife and others around them. I'm not a history buff, but enjoyed learning a little about this war, the attitudes and prejudices of the time, the amazing strength of the African American people. As always, Brooks' work is thoroughly researched and powerfully rendered. In the end, a great read.
