Caleb's Crossing by Geraldine Brooks

5.0

Geraldine Brooks is one of my favorite authors. She has an incredible ability to take a true event and create a beautiful historical fiction story. Caleb's Crossing is the story of one of the first Wapanaog Indians to attend Harvard College in 1661. The story is told as a diary written by Bethia, the daughter of a minister on Nantucket Island. The story shows the difficulty for women during this time, the struggles between whites and Indians, and the hardships of living on an island. Truely a beautiful read, just like Year of Wonders.
