Geraldine Brooks complements the story of 'Little Women' by taking us into the story of the absent father – March. Built on meticulous research about the Civil War period, and the community of transcendentalists around Concord Massachussetts, (Emerson, Thoreau and others) this is a love story, a war story, and a story about ideals.
