Caleb's Crossing by Geraldine Brooks
I am a fan of Brooks’ writing but enjoyed this a little less than others. It is set in the 1600’s, after Europeans arrived in North America and started oppression of its native people. It is about both sets of people; their lives and their values, particularly spiritually. It is interesting from a historical perspective but I struggled a little feel the emotions and strife of the characters as written.
