On April 6, 2020 our book club met virtually for the first time due to Coronavirus. In a time of uncertainty and self quarantine, we were able to meet together through Zoom. As a result some of our book club members who live far away were able to join us. It was great to see everyone! This month's book was Caleb's Crossing by Geradine Brooks. This story is a historical fiction that takes place on Martha's Vineyard in the year 1600's. It is a story about a friendship between Bethia Mayfield a daughter of a putitan preacher and Caleb the son of a chieftain of the Wampanoag tribe. Each has to overcome societal limitations of their time period. We had a lively discussion to these prejudices and related them to prejudices that exist during our lifespan. I'm looking forward to seeing everyone at our next book club meeting when we will be discussing the story Where The Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens.
