Description

Once more, Geraldine Brooks requires a shard of background and brings it to vivid life. In 1665, a guy from Martha's Vineyard became the very first Native-American to graduate from Harvard University. Upon this slim informative scaffolding, Brooks has generated a tale of religion and love, wonder and experience. The narrator of Caleb's Bridging is Bethia Mayfield, rising up in the little settlement of Excellent Harbor amid a little group of Puritans and innovators.
