I've enjoyed this all three times I read it. Tonight I get to talk about it with at least 10 people at the Rifle Branch Public Library.

I would suggest thsi book if you enjoyed Little Women and maybe even suggest re-reading Little Women before you read this. I liked the concept of the book but the story was very difficult to follow at times
adventurous emotional informative inspiring
slow-paced

I did not enjoy this book. What a boring, weak main character and story. How did this win the Pulitzer?

Revised my rating to one star. This book bored me to tears. There's a reason why Mr. March is just a minor, only mentioned/never seen, character! He's quite insufferable here.

I lent it to my grandmother thinking she might have a different take, and she threw it away.

I will not give up on Geraldine Brooks, however! March is just a dud in the pile.
