“March” won the 2006 Pulitzer Prize. It is an historical fiction novel that speculates on the Civil War experiences of the father character in the classic, “Little Women” by Louisa May Alcott.
Brooks has written two other New York Times best-selling novels, “People of the Book” and “Year of Wonders;” and two non-fiction books, “Nine Parts of Desire: The Hidden World of Islamic Women” and “Foreign Correspondence: A Pen Pal’s Journey From Down Under to All Over.” Her latest book is “Caleb’s Crossing.”
She is a native of Australia who lives in Massachusetts. She worked for 11 years as a reporter for The Wall Street Journal, covering the Middle East, Bosnia and Somalia.
The 2011 Fort Collins Reads event will be its ninth. Past selections have included “The Tortilla Curtain” by T.C. Boyle; “When the Emperor was Divine” by Julie Otsuka; “Holes” by Louis Sachar, and, last year, “The Art of Racing in the Rain” by Garth Stein.
