March by Geraldine Brooks

5.0

---

This is my third Geraldine Brooks novel, and I just LOVE her. It was really interesting observing how she wrote from a male perspective (Mr March). I know she wrote from a male perspective in The Secret Chord - but due to that narator's limited contact with women, it really wasn't as interesting. What was even better was the switch in perspective to Mrs March in the last 40 pages of the novel. The miscommunications and misunderstanding between the married couple was amplified by this writing choice. I loved Grace Clement's character, and I loved her relationship with Mr March - who idolised her as an embodiment of his ideals, but she essentially, did not need him.
