Our thanks to the good people fo Fourth Estate for bringing this wonderful book to our attention. We also have a review of [[People of the Book by Geraldine Brooks]].
For more New England settler tales, then [[The Taste of Sorrow by Jude Morgan]] is equally enthralling, while for more strong-minded independent females in an entirely different setting, then the Orange Prize listed [[The Road to Wanting by Wendy Law-Yone]] will be right up your street. You might find [[Stylish Restaging of The Crucible is All Show and No Substance, According to Reviews|this]] interesting.
