December Book Selection
March by Geraldine Brooks is a historical novel that follows John March, the absent father from Little Women, as a Union army chaplain during the American Civil War. The story explores how his idealistic beliefs are tested by the brutal realities of war, including racism within the Union army and his own moral failings. Parallel narratives from March and his wife, Marmee, reveal the complex effects of his long absence, his complicated relationship with a former slave named Grace, and his internal struggles with guilt and disillusionment.
