Rendition In Favor Of Books March

Winner of the 2006 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction. From the author of the acclaimed Year of Wonders, a historical novel and love story set during a time of catastrophe, on the front lines of the American Civil War. Acclaimed author Geraldine Brooks gives us the story of the absent father from Louisa May Alcott's Little Women—and conjures a world of brutality, stubborn courage and transcendent love. An idealistic abolitionist, March has gone as chaplain to serve the Union cause. But the war tests his faith not only in the Union—which is also capable of barbarism and racism—but in himself. As he recovers from a near-fatal illness, March must reassemble and reconnect with his family, who have no idea of what he has endured. A love story set in a time of catastrophe, March explores the passions between a man and a woman, the tenderness of parent and child, and the life-changing power of an ardently held belief.

Evaluation Based On Books March

I have wanted to read this book for years. Now that I have, I'm left with the wish that I'd stayed clear.It's not that this is a terrible book. There are parts to this story I really enjoyed, and it served as a great reminder of how powerful Civil War historical fiction can be. But the characters? Other than Grace, I would say no thank you.Now, Little Women is one of my all-time favorite books. That proved to be part of the problem. It was so weird to me that these fictional characters who had

Having loved Caleb's crossing, I decided to check out all of Brooks' novels. March is another excellent book. Alcott gave us relatively little about Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy's father, and Brooks uses this book to imagine his life on the front during the Civil War. March served as a clergyman for the Union troops, and Brooks takes us directly into the war. But we do not have to stay there as she effectively uses flashbacks to fill in all the details we Little Women fans want to know about how he

Video to come on this soon, discussing it in conversation with Little Women. :)

I respected Geraldine Brooks as a journalist and a writer of non-fiction for many years before she started writing novels and Ive long meant to read this novel, which won the Pulitzer Prize for fiction in 2006. Having only recently re-read Little Women for the first time in many years, this seemed the ideal time to tackle a book which draws on that novel for its inspiration. Brooks notes in the afterward to the novel that Little Women is concerned with the way a year lived at the edge of war

I was all ready to give March by Geraldine Brooks three stars until I got to this passage:"I am not alone in this. I only let him do to me what men have ever done to women: march off to empty glory and hollow acclaim and leave us behind to pick up the pieces. The broken cities, the burned barns, the innocent injured beasts, the ruined bodies of the boys we bore and the men we lay with.The waste of it. I sit here, and I look at him, and it is as if a hundred women sit beside me: the revolutionary

It feels like a long time since Ive read such an accomplished novel. Geraldine Brooks manages to catch the horror of war in a phrase: [men] were clinging [to the rocky bluff over the river] as a cluster of bees dangling from a hive, and slipping off in clumps, four or five together. Her characters are so richly drawn and steeped in a historically accurate language that we feel transported, and are eager to delve into our own researches. In this novel she recreates the environment of one of our

This was a fabulous read. I found it more moving and better written than The Known World which treats a similar subject. March and his quixotic battle against slavery and madness during the Civil War is compelling and beautiful. Geraldine Brook's writing is astounding and kept me turning pages because I had to know what was going to happen. Although the characters were inspired by Little Women by Louisa May Alcott, the story Brooks tells is gruesome and heartbreaking. It is not dissimilar to
