Geraldine Brooks’ novel Caleb’s Crossing is a New York Times bestselling tale of passion and belief, magic and adventure.  In it, the narrator Bethia Mayfield is a restless and curious young woman growing up in Martha's vineyard in the 1660s amid a small band of pioneering English Puritans. At age twelve, she meets Caleb, the young son of a chieftain, and the two forge a secret bond that draws each into the alien world of the other.  Inspired by a true story, Caleb’s Crossing brilliantly captures the triumphs and turmoil of two brave, openhearted spirits who risk everything in a search for knowledge at a time of superstition and ignorance.  This a ticketed event.  Watch for details at the Malaprop’s website, www.malaprops.com.
