March by Geraldine Brooks
4.0

A captivating contrast to Little Women. I've always enjoyed Little Women, but found some aspects treacly sweet and preachy. I really appreciated Brooks' take on the complexities of morality and the ambiguity of defining right and wrong during war.

The switch to Marmee as narrator was excellent, too, and added an unexpected twist.
