Synopsis
Jacob Have I Loved is a novel by Katherine Paterson that won the 1981 Newbery Medal. The title refers to the sibling rivalry between Jacob and Esau in the Jewish and Christian Bible, and comes directly from Romans 9:13: As it is written, "Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated. " Set in the early 1940s on Rass Island in Chesapeake Bay, the novel follows the story of the Bradshaws, a family who depends on the father, Truitt, and his crabbing/fishing business on his boat, the Portia Sue.
