In March, Geraldine Brooks creates a very sympathetic character consistent with the father's off-stage role in Little Women. The character is quite credible given that he is based, as the Afterword makes clear, on Louisa May Alcott’s father Bronson Alcott. The Afterword makes clear where the author departed from the historical facts of the Civil War, which I appreciated. I enjoyed reading about March’s friendship with the Emersons and Thoreaus, who actually were friends of the Alcotts. The author’s depictions of abolitionist views, civil war fighting, chaplains’ roles, and wartime hospitals are well-researched, the latter based on Louisa May Alcott’s own writing. Readers should be aware that the book is not appropriate for the same age readers as Little Women--it deals with adult themes of sexual attraction, the brutality of slavery, and the blood and gore of war as well as March’s internal struggles of conscience as an abolitionist opposed to the taking of life in war. In addition to March, other characters are well developed, particularly his wife Marmee and a literate slave woman who becomes a nurse when freed. Descriptions of Concord, life on a southern plantation, and Washington, DC during the Civil War are vivid and interesting. I found the book very engaging as well as informative. Highly recommended.
In this novel, Geraldine Brooks creates a beautifully imagined chapter in the life of Mr. March, the father from the novel "Little Women." March was absent for a time from the lives of Jo, Beth, Amy and Meg and their mother, and this is the story of that absence -- his departure from home as an impassioned abolitionist and his sojourn as a Union chaplain during a very dark year of the Civil War.While I was smitten with the lyrical, historically credible quality of Brooks' writing and her often seamless ability to carry me along in this clever story, there were episodes in which I felt rather directed by her -- directed to look at Thoreau and Emerson and other prominent figures of the day. It felt a little didactic at times (yes, I know that Thoreau liked to fish), and perhaps even pedantic. I also lost a bit of patience with March himself, as I do not care for male protagonists who have bouts of profound wimpiness. His character flaws were all part of Brooks' grand design, showing him as a man with much to learn about himself and the cultural disparities of his day. I finished the book with respect for Brooks as a writer but glad to be done with March and his wearisome vanities.
This is a masterpiece—an original, imaginative, inspired masterpiece. That is the only way to describe this extraordinary Pulitzer Prize-winning book by Geraldine Brooks.Published 137 years after Louisa May Alcott's "Little Women," this is the story of Mr. March, who was largely absent from Alcott's timeless classic as he was serving as a chaplain in the Civil War. The first part is written from Mr. March's point of view, while the second part is written initially from his wife's point of view when she is in Washington caring for her extremely ill husband and then switches back to him. (You will see a new and somewhat shocking side of Marmee!)While Meg, Jo, Beth and Amy learn how to become kind, caring ladies while living in their small New England village—visiting the poor, mending their bonnets, taking walks, writing letters and playing small, harmless pranks on each other—their father is sent to Virginia to serve as a war chaplain where he witnesses horrific and gruesome brutality that will forever change who he is and how he views the world. This, along with some of his actions, will threaten his and Marmee's marriage in surprising ways no innocent reader of "Little Women" could imagine.The contrast between the two books—"Little Women" and "March"—could not be more extreme. The one shows us sweet, genteel, mannerly girls who love greatly and seek to do good as they learn how to live moral, upright lives. The latter shows us the other side of life that is occurring at the exact same time but one that is brutal, dark, violent, cruel, vicious and evil.And here is the sheer genius of "March": Brooks writes in the style and language of the 19th century, even though she is a 21st century author.A Reading Recommendation: This is very much a companion book to "Little Women," albeit one that Louisa May Alcott never envisioned. I highly encourage you to read (or more likely reread) "Little Women" before reading "March." There are numerous nuances, details and references to the little women living in New England that will have far greater meaning for you as a reader of "March" if "Little Women" is fresh in your mind.
