A nonfiction account of life in southeastern Connecticut and colonial New England, based on the diaries that settler Joshua Hempstead kept from 1711-1758. Very well written narrative that reads like a novel. As an added bonus, you can visit the Hempstead house in New London after you‘ve read the book! Built circa 1678 and altered several times during the 18th century, it‘s one of the state's oldest surviving buildings.
