520    Once again, the author takes a remarkable shard of history
       and brings it to vivid life. In 1665, a young man from 
       Martha's Vineyard became the first Native American to 
       graduate from Harvard College. Upon this slender factual 
       scaffold, she has created a luminous tale of love and 
       faith, magic and adventure. The narrator of the story is 
       Bethia Mayfield, growing up in the tiny settlement of 
       Great Harbor amid a small band of pioneers and Puritans. 
       Restless and curious, she yearns after an education that 
       is closed to her by her sex. As often as she can, she 
       slips away to explore the island's glistening beaches and 
       observe its native Wampanoag inhabitants. At twelve, she 
       encounters Caleb, the young son of a chieftain, and the 
       two forge a tentative secret friendship that draws each 
       into the alien world of the other. Bethia's minister 
       father tries to convert the Wampanoag, awakening the wrath
       of the tribe's shaman, against whose magic he must test 
       his own beliefs. One of his projects becomes the education
       of Caleb, and a year later, Caleb is in Cambridge, 
       studying Latin and Greek among the colonial elite. There, 
       Bethia finds herself reluctantly indentured as a 
       housekeeper and can closely observe Caleb's crossing of 
       cultures. Like the author's beloved narrator Anna, in Year
       of Wonders, Bethia proves an emotionally irresistible 
       guide to the wilds of Martha's Vineyard and the intimate 
       spaces of the human heart.
