TONIGHT ON TV


Promised the rich soil and temperate
climate of Virginia, the Mayflower pil-
grims found themselves at Plymouth,
where frigid winters and coastal terrain
multiplied all the difficul-
ties of their party. “Be-
held” (Bloomsbury, 288
pp., eeeE), a compel-
ling new novel by Ta-
raShea Nesbit, author of
“The Wives of Los Ala-
mos,” explores not only
the dangers the first colo-
nists confronted on arrival, but those
they brought with them.
Despite seeking their own religious
freedom, the Puritans at Plymouth per-
petuated a rigid hierarchy – in hock to
the speculations of their investors, they
restricted the rights of those not follow-
ing their faith, including freemen and


indentured servants. “Be-
held” successfully evokes
what happens in this soci-
ety strained by inequality,
especially for the women,
who are allowed little to no
voice in matters of life and
death.
Alice Bradford, a mother
of three young children and
two older ones still in Hol-
land, occupies a privileged
status as the wife of Gov.
William Bradford. Her
neighbor, Eleanor Billing-
ton, is also a mother and wife, but be-
cause she is married to indentured ser-
vant John Billington, she must struggle
for social acceptance in this exclusion-
ary community.
The Billingtons are considered out-
siders for their Anglican faith, their row-
dy London manners and the way they
speak openly about poor treatment at

the hands of the Puritan
leaders. When the land
John was promised is given
to a newcomer, tensions
build to a breaking point.
Although her husband wor-
ries about Native American
attacks and putting on a
good face for the investors,
Alice understands that
rather than the “unknowns
beyond the colony fences ...
the threat would always be
those within our colony.”
And when a murder oc-
curs, and a subsequent trial, fault lines
are exposed between Puritan and Angli-
can, powerful and powerless, man and
woman.
The novel presents the alternating
viewpoints of Alice and Eleanor in first
person, as well as several chapters fol-
lowing John Billington’s point of view
(which is disconcertingly rendered in

third person). Nesbit so persuasively
creates her two main female characters,
their voices and their fraught partial al-
liance that the sections focused on one
man can seem extraneous.
Despite the novel’s intended tight fo-
cus on the immigrant colonists, readers
may wish for more understanding of the
men and women of the Wampanoag Na-
tion and how their stories might have
broadened the narrative. However, in a
thoroughly considered author’s note,
Nesbit clearly describes which sources
she worked from and how she used the
historical record to inspire her fictional
account.
As with similar fictional projects,
such as Hilary Mantel’s Thomas Crom-
well trilogy, it can be fun and illuminat-
ing to recognize well-known figures
from history and to observe how a
skilled novelist disrupts expectation to
render the pulsing messy lives of those
too often calcified in myth.
