I picked up this book after reading (and loving) other books by Geraldine Brooks (e.g., People of the Book, Year of Wonders, Caleb's Crossing). I had not read Little Women, but we recently traveled to Civil War country, and I found the book revealing and enlightening about the cultural paradoxes and conflicts that faced Americans at that time and place in history. And now, watching the Masterpiece version of Little Women, I can appreciate the nuances of how Brooks reflected Louisa May Alcott's writing style as well as how the two stories blend together.
