Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist Geraldine Brooks is a master of historical fiction, weaving from bits of historical information gripping tales and fascinating characters. Her prose is gorgeous. We will read and discuss three of her novels – March, a Civil War era novel for which she won the Pulitzer Prize; Caleb’s Crossing, set in 17th century Massachusetts; and People of the Book, which follows the famous Sarajevo Haggadah across 600 years of European history. Expect to read, enjoy, and discuss about 100 pages per week.   Each class will be mainly discussion. Please note that this is a 9-week course continuing through the break week and ending on April 27.
