ten/seventy-five


March won a Pulitzer Prize. Somehow. Geraldine Brooks's novel is well-paced, interesting, and pretty well-written, but I wouldn't say it was Pulitzer material. It was okay, not great.

It's a novel about the March pater's adventures during the War, and it gets the feeling of that time across well. It was kind of disorienting to think about his foibles, though, after all the adoration of him in Little Women.

Not a favorite but not a waste of time.
