March by Geraldine Brooks
4.0

Brooks does a solid job of continuing the March story without minimizing the original. It's gonna take me some time to understand how I feel about Mr. March because I felt like he spent most of the time holding to principles that he could've actively lived out instead of meditating on them, but given that the research into his character came from Bronson Alcott's life, it made sense.
Now she needs to write one from Marmee's perspective, because I would read 600 pages of Marmee just going ham on other people. I want WWE-level antics. "Here comes Marmee with the chair!" Literally IDEAL.

(The shoutout to her husband, the great Tony Horwitz, was just delightful in the afterword. What a power couple.)
