Congratulations
to a fellow Australian for taking out the 2006 Pulitzer Prize with her
latest novel, March based on the absent father from Louisa May Alcott's
Little Women called March.
An idealistic
abolitionist, March went to serve the Union cause as a chaplain.
However the war tests his faith not only in the Union, which is also
capable of barbarism and racism, but in himself. As he recovers from a
near-fatal illness, March must reassemble and reconnect with his
family, who have no idea of what he has endured.
A
love story set in a time of catastrophe, March explores the passions
between a man and a woman, the tenderness of parent and child, and the
life-changing power of an ardently held belief.
This
paperback is published in Australia by ABC Books with a recommended
retail price of $22.95 and is available from bookstores around
Australia or Booktopia has it discounted online down to $20.66 plus
shipping and you can order it now by clicking the "Order Book Now"
