I grabbed this book simply because it was on the half-off Goodwill shelf and 'Year Of Wonders' has always been one of my favorites. It wasn't even until I got it home that I read what it was actually about. A Maguire-ian re-telling of Little Women through Mr. March's eyes? Sounded amazing.
And a lot of it was. But some parts dragged on and failed to keep my attention. It took me nearly a month to finish this short novel, which is unheard of. The latter half was much more enchanting than the first, however. It steadily picked up it's pace from there, right up until the end which actually left me wanting more.
How Mr. March reconciles his Civil War experiences with his innocent family is meant to be left up to imagination, but a part of me really wants to be told that tale.
