March by Geraldine Brooks
3.0

The writing is good, though slow to begin with. I found it helpful to read the afterword to get a clear picture of how this narrative fit with Little Women and the actual Alcott family. I did not expect to like this Mr. March me than the idolized and barely present Mr. March in Little Women. But I really didn't like him much at all, and I really didn't want to read a Civil War book right now, but I was too fat in when I realized how completely it would be war-centered.
