Geraldine Brooks has a way of weaving through historical moments of cogent settings, to make powerful, real-life stories vivid through narrative. Most times I find her narrative peculiar and alluring, like the close narration in March, for example. In Year of Wonders: A Novel of the Plague, she had me immersed in style and dialect and of the three novels of hers I've read so far, she managed to keep me invested in the setting and "situation"(i.e. war).

Absolutely one of the best books I’ve ever read. A fascinating story. I may need to read it again in a few months, without all the google searches and rabbit holes that I went down while looking up interesting tidbits that I came across.
