March
Brooks Geraldine
Winner
of the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction and Richard and Judy pick.
From the author of the acclaimed ‘Year of
Wonders’ and ‘People of the Book’, a historical novel and love story set during
a time of catastrophe on the front lines of the American Civil War.
Set during the American Civil War, ‘March’
tells the story of John March, known to us as the father away from his family
of girls in ‘Little Women’, Louisa May Alcott’s classic American novel. In
Brooks’s telling, March emerges as an abolitionist and idealistic chaplain on
the front lines of a war that tests his faith in himself and in the Union cause
when he learns that his side, too, is capable of barbarism and racism. As he
recovers from a near-fatal illness in a Washington hospital, he must reassemble
the shards of his shattered mind and body, and find a way to reconnect with a
wife and daughters who have no idea of the ordeals he has been through.
As Alcott drew on her real-life sisters in
shaping the characters of her little women, so Brooks turned to the journals
and letters of Bronson Alcott, Louisa May’s father, an idealistic educator,
animal rights exponent and abolitionist who was a friend and confidante of
Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry David Thoreau. The story spans the vibrant
intellectual world of Concord and the sensuous antebellum South, through to the
first year of the Civil War as the North reels under a series of unexpected
defeats.
Like
her bestselling ‘Year of Wonders’, ‘March’ follows an unconventional love
story. It 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.
