jillianbald 's review for:
March
by Geraldine Brooks
I've enjoyed reading Geraldine Brooks' novels over the years, but "March" was different. It was brilliantly written and very deserving of a Pulitzer Prize award. The superb editing set the pace of the gorgeous story telling. The ending, especially the last paragraph, was deeply satisfying.
For a relatively short book, it took me a while to finish. I could only read a chapter or two at a time, because the story was densely detailed. The style and choice of words, mimicking a 19th century work, demanded focus. I had to be in the right mood to pick up the book again. But when the point of view switched to Marmee March, I devoured the last third of the novel in one sitting.
