March

When finishing the first chapter of "March" it was obvious how it won the Pulitzer Prize. It read like poetry. I was, once again, in awe of what an author does.




If you ever wondered why the father in, Alcott's, "Little Women" was rarely present? This book has the answers. In this well-researched work of fiction, the author makes him the main character. While the young women and their mother stay in Concord, Massachusetts, Mr. March is a chaplain, away in the Civil War. The family and other familiar people are imagined in this make-believe story that is both moving and riveting.
