This May’s Historical Fiction Book Group session about Geraldine Brooks’ Caleb’s Crossing will be held virtually!

Registrants who are Princeton Public Library card holders can access the ebook or audiobook through the library, pending availability.

Caleb’s Crossing, one of many novels by the Pulitzer Prize-winning Brooks, is set in 17th-century Martha’s Vineyard and explores the connection between a Puritan family and the son of a Wampanoag leader who would become the first Native American graduate of Harvard.
