This was a nice fun book that went at a good pace. Some of the terminology was a little confusing, but otherwise I liked it. The main character is especially fun and easy to relate to.

I loved the character. For the time the book was well written and all the characters unique.

A good book for kids and even enjoyable as an adult. The trope of “woman who hates women’s work” is a little tired, but this was written in the 90s so I excuse it

A thoroughly delightful visit to Medieval England through the eyes of 14 yr old Catherine whose life is on the edge of change. Loved it!
