傑拉爾丁·布魯剋斯(Geraldine Brooks,1955-)生於悉尼,是擁有澳大利亞和美國雙重國籍的女作傢,她曾先後在《悉尼先驅晨報》和《華爾街日報》擔任資深記者,長期對國際熱點問題進行采訪和報道,她把這一職業稱為自己“創作的圖書館”。
除瞭《馬奇》這部獲普利策奬的小說,布魯剋斯根據真實曆史事件創作的處女作《奇跡之年》2001年在美國齣版後同樣好評如潮,隨即成為澳大利亞政府推薦全民閱讀的年度佳作。布魯剋斯現與丈夫及兒子居住在美國弗吉尼亞州鄉村。
As the North reels under a series of unexpected defeats during the dark first year of the war, one man leaves behind his family to aid the Union cause. His experiences will utterly change his marriage and challenge his most ardently held beliefs. Riveting and elegant as it is meticulously researched, March is an extraordinary novel woven out of the lore of American history.
From Louisa May Alcott's beloved classic Little Women, Geraldine Brooks has taken the character of the absent father, March, who has gone off to war, leaving his wife and daughters to make do in mean times. To evoke him, Brooks turned to the journals and letters of Bronson Alcott, Louisa May's father—a friend and confidant of Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry David Thoreau. In her telling, March emerges as an idealistic chaplain in the little known backwaters of a war that will test his faith in himself and in the Union cause as he learns that his side, too, is capable of acts of barbarism and racism. As he recovers from a near mortal illness, he must reassemble his shattered mind and body and find a way to reconnect with a wife and daughters who have no idea of the ordeals he has been through.
Spanning the vibrant intellectual world of Concord and the sensuous antebellum South, March adds adult resonance to Alcott's optimistic children's tale to portray the moral complexity of war, and a marriage tested by the demands of extreme idealism—and by a dangerous and illicit attraction. A lushly written, wholly original tale steeped in the details of another time, March secures Geraldine Brooks's place as an internationally renowned author of historical fiction.
