Learn moreWinner of the Pulitzer Prize--a powerful love story set against the backdrop of the Civil War, from the author of The Secret Chord.
From Louisa May Alcott's beloved classic Little Women, Geraldine Brooks has animated the character of the absent father, March, and crafted a story "filled with the ache of love and marriage and with the power of war upon the mind and heart of one unforgettable man" (Sue Monk Kidd). With "pitch-perfect writing" (USA Today), Brooks follows March as he leaves behind his family to aid the Union cause in the Civil War. His experiences will utterly change his marriage and challenge his most ardently held beliefs. A lushly written, wholly original tale steeped in the details of another time, March secures Geraldine Brooks's place as a renowned author of historical fiction.
Geraldine Brooksย is the author of five novels: the Pulitzer Prize-winningย March; the international bestsellersย Caleb's Crossing,ย People of the Book, andย Year of Wonders; and, most recently,ย The Secret Chord. She has also written the acclaimed nonfiction worksย Nine Parts of Desireย andย Foreign Correspondence. Born and raised inย Australia, she lives on Martha's Vinyard with her husband, the author Tony Horwitz, and their two sons.
