I had to read this book for summer reading in high school and I still remember it. March tells the story of the Father from Little Women. Brooks does a fantastic job of showing the devastating effects of the Civil War and the emotional tears it had on the individuals and their families. There are a few moments where the images are disturbing, but one of Brooks strength is the mental picture she creates and it is very touching and moving, especially in the scenes where Mrs. March visits her husband in DC. I am not a fan of Civil War novels, but this one is incredibly moving and I guarantee you won't see history the same way again (or Little Women). Also you do not have to have read Little Women to follow this novel.
