March by Geraldine Brooks - A Review

Geraldine Brooks cleverly develops a shadowy character from Little Women, the father of the famous Jo, Meg, Beth, and Amy, away in the Civil War while his wife struggles to keep things together at home. In a readable and all too timely look at how war impacts both soldiers and their families, Mr. March, an idealistic chaplain, not only discovers it's hard to be sure who the real enemy is but also must find a way to rejoin everyday life.
