Brooks uses her imagination to fill in the missing story of Mr. March from Louisa May Alcott's Little Women, with amazing results. I really liked this book, it draws on factual accounts from the Civil War to weave together a compelling and tragic story. I found I could visualise much of the landscapes described in the book from my own travels: John Brown and the armory at Harper's Ferry, spanish moss on trees in the south, Georgetown etc. Very deserving winner of the Pulitzer Prize.
4.5 stars.
