Book 66: Caleb's Crossing by Geraldine Brooks


A historical novel, set in the American colonies in the late 17th century, focusing on a young woman, daughter of a preacher and missionary and the first Indian student to attend Harvard - based around a real person, but a very fictionalised account. I thought this very good - enjoyed it a lot more than The Secret Chord, which read earlier this year and found harder to get into.
