Free Book Discussion
Thursday, March 5th at 1:00 - 2:30 p.m.
LOEL at the Square is offering a free book discussion brought to you by OLLI@Pacifice.
With Helen Gross, a Former Educator, as the speaker.
March, by Geraldine Brooks
March retells Louisa May Alcott’s novel Little Women from the point of view of Alcott’s
protagonists’ absent father. The classic tale has been inserted in the story revealing the events
surrounding March’s absence during the Civil War in 1862. This 2006 Pulitzer Prize novel, an
antidote to the "sugar filled" Little Women, is not a children’s story, but a hard look at slavery,
marriage, war and separation, courage vs. cowardice.
