April recommended this book to me. I liked it very much. I finished reading it on the way home from Boston. It was a great book to read as I was visiting Boston for the first time. It is the story of a young woman during early colonial times who longs for an education. It details her friendship with a young Indian man who ends up attending Harvard. His character is based upon a real person. This was a well-written novel that is also very thought provoking.

AuthorMy name is Elizabeth. I love to read. In college I took speed reading and kept a list of everything I read (I wish I could find that list!). As a teen I would read under the blankets half the night. As a child I first patronized the book mobile and later read entire sections of books from the school library. Now, with dozens of books on my "want to read" list, I tend to doze off if I read at night and I am usually in the middle of several books at one time. Archives
