Caleb's Crossing - Geraldine Brooks

Caleb's Crossing - Geraldine Brooks (2011)

I have spent a few days heading to bed early to tackle this one.  I had attempted to take it with me at work, but a noisy tearoom was not the place to concentrate on this one as it was wordy.  It did at several times unsettle me with the its oldy worldy language, but then it dragged me into the story and I quickly became used to it.

In the 1600s Caleb becomes the first Native American to graduate from Harvard, this is the story of him and his friend Bethia a young girl who he befriends at Marthas Vineyard.

A 4/5 for a great winter read - get stuck in.
