Geraldine Brooks

The Pulitzer Prize-winning Author of March

In her latest, Brooks, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of March and People of the Book, again dips into history for inspiration. Caleb's Crossing takes flight from the story of Caleb Cheeshahteaumauck, the first Native American to graduate from Harvard University. With a winning narrator, Bethia Mayfield (the outspoken daughter of a Calvinist preacher) and a wealth of evocative detail, Brooks conjures America in the 1660s, and Caleb's "crossing" from one culture to another.
