The book is a great read and Geraldiine Brooks is intelligent and  
fun.  I highly recommend the event.

And to make this a Virginia genealogy on-topic post, Geraldine  
Brooks'  book, March, is the husband's story of Little Women.  She  
gives credit to her husband for having inspired the book.  She says  
that when she realized that her husband, Tony Horwitz, was planning to  
drag her to every Civil War battlefield in Virginia, she decided to  
write a Civil War novel.  Her husband is the author of Confederates in  
the Attic.

Really I think that you will find the event worth your time.  Marsha
