A bold companion novel to the well-loved classic 'Little Women' April 4, 2008
In 'March,' Geraldine Brooks takes on an intriguing and perhaps one of the most difficult genres: that of a companion novel to a better-known work. In this case, the original is Alcott's 'Little Women.'

Mr. March, the male head of the family who is absent for most of 'LW,' here gets his own story as he serves as an army chaplain in Virginia during the Civil War and is ultimately severely injured by rebel outlaws ransacking plantations. In between chapters, the reader also learns a great deal about March's youth before settling down. 'March' is an interesting story on its own, and made more fascinating when combined with 'LW.' Faithful 'LW' readers will definitely find some surprises.

Perspective April 3, 2008

Little Women's dad is just an illusion on a pedestal before reading this book. It also offers great insights into the mom's personality and their relationship as a couple. Well done!

Great for a book club title... March 20, 2008
This was a book club selection for our ladies group-readable but with plenty of depth and provocative subject matter. Many women were enthralled with Little Women as girls and it was very meaningful to read this now in our 40's.

A Powerful New Perspective February 23, 2008
March by Geraldine Brooks provides a painful but powerful perspective on the Civil War. The story is told from the perspective of Mr. March, the father from Little Women. In the original novel by Louisa May Alcott, the father is only a shadowy, figure, sketchily drawn. We only know that he was captured by the Confederate army and is later welcomed home by his family. Mrs. March is only seen as "Marmy," a sweet but innocuous woman who quietly holds her family together. This revised version of the story fleshes out these two characters, giving them depth and complexity. Through their eyes, we delve deeper into the complexities of abolition and the Civil War, and explore the difficulty of communicating between a husband and wife during turbulent and morally ambiguous times. This is a painful, yet riveting book to read, as figures from history such as Emerson and Thoreau come alive. There are only shades of gray in this book, as issues and ideas of what are right and wrong become confused and vague. I strongly recommend this book for those who are avid historians or fans of the original novel. You will never view history or Little Women the same way again.

Review for "March" February 8, 2008
The writing is supurb. I could not put the book down waiting to read the next chapter as the plot unfolded.
