I think the fact that she began as a journalist has been the basis for her success as a writer of historical fiction. Everything she writes "rings true".

It is getting good reviews, and the excerpt was fascinating. She is a talented author.

All her books are completely sold it. I was dying to pick up her latest novel called <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/People_of_the_Book_(novel)" rel="nofollow">The People of The Book</a>, which generated constant appraise from many critics and readers. I believe March is the book that won the Pulitzer Prize. Sounds very promising, and so gonna pick it up when I returned to the States. And yeah, who doesn't love Little Women? Both the book and the movie version were superb. YES, yes, I was searching for her books when I went to Dubai last month. All her books are completely sold it.
