Caleb's Crossing by Geraldine Brooks

5.0

At times while reading this book, I actually had chills. Bethia does not only make a compelling narrator but shows girls and women the true spirit of a strong female. Not only is the book a great read, but it is a history lesson on the discrimination of Native Americans and women. Be this gives us a glimpse of earlier English language and the birth of higher education in the colonies. I was drawn into the story after about five pages. The characters, the history, and the narration were all masterful. Caleb's Crossing is a must-read for anyone who enjoys historical fiction and strong female characters.
