This was a really interesting book written from the point of view of the fictional Mr. March of Louisa May Alcott's Little Women. It mainly encompasses his experiences as a chaplain in the army during the Civil War, but also shares stories of his past. I really enjoyed this book, it was a quick read and well researched. It took me a few chapters before I really got absorbed in the book, but otherwise it was great.
Mr March was a much more complicated person than you might have guessed from your reading of Little Women years ago. Really enjoyed this. Read it a long time ago but just now adding it as I'm currently in love with her writing!

Really, really good. An awesome telling of the Civil War through the eyes of Mr. March, the father of the Little Women. Pulitzer-worthy indeed.
I found the main character of Mr. March to become increasingly irritating as the book progressed. He was repetitive and didn't really grow at all. In general, I think modern spin-offs of classics rarely go well, and admittedly, the Civil War is far from my favorite era for historical fiction. I'm planning to attend a book discussion at the library next week, which is what prompted me to read this book. I'll be interested to hear other views.
