scoopysara 's review for:
March
by Geraldine Brooks
I didn't love this book, but I gave it four stars because I can appreciate it as a well-crafted and beautifully written piece of literature. It immerses you in the atmosphere and lifestyle of the Civil War era. I also read this at a time when my life revolved around Little Women (my daughter was Beth in her school play) and I felt this book added to my understanding of the story. I appreciate that it is Brooks's interpretation of Mr. March's life and for that ambitious task I applaud her. I listened to this book and at times the narrator embodied Mr. March and at times he bored me. My criticism is that the second half of this book has an interlude from Marmee's perspective and I found it difficult to keep track of which character was speaking. The audiobook could have benefitted from a female narrator for Marmee.
