I really enjoyed the premise of this - if we went back in time to Medieval England and experienced it for ourselves, what would that look like? What would we eat, where would we live, what kind of clothes would we wear, who would we associate with? However, without any real narrative or storyline, I found it hard to stay engaged. I ended up skipping whole sections that I wasn't as interested in. I do feel that some of the medieval-set fiction I've read have done a better job painting a picture of day to day life (namely [b:Company of Liars|2761171|Company of Liars|Karen Maitland|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1327931234l/2761171._SY75_.jpg|2786880] and [b:The Pillars of the Earth|5043|The Pillars of the Earth (Kingsbridge, #1)|Ken Follett|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1576956100l/5043._SY75_.jpg|3359698]), although I appreciate now knowing for sure how accurate and well-researched they are. But in general I did walk away from this knowing more about medieval life than I started with, and that was the ultimate goal.
