A very well-written work of historical fiction that, in my opinion, is very worthy of the Pulitzer prize that was awarded to its author, Geraldine Brooks. During the darkest hours of US history the story's central character (the fictional father of Louisa May Alcott's fictional Little Women) response to the tragedy's of that era are, in many ways, uplifting.

The “guest appearances” by Thoreau and Emerson add to an already great book.
