SynopsisCatapulted from a life of prayer and study to the physical, earthy world of medieval medicine, Matilda is a resistant and resentful assistant to Red Peg the Bonesetter, but she comes to appreciate the strong women who work as healers and discovers that "love and compassion, laughter and companionship, are indeed the best medicine" in this witty novel from Newbery medalist Karen Cushman. (School Library Journal, starred), Into the fascinating, pungent setting of Blood and Bone Alley, home of leech, barber-surgeon, and apothecary, comes Matilda, raised by a priest to disdain worldly affairs and focus on spiritual matters. To Matilda's dismay, her work will not involve Latin or writing, but practical tasks: lighting the fire, going to market, mixing plasters and poultices, and helping Peg treat patients. She is appalled by the worldliness of her new surroundings, and the sharp-tongued saints she turns to for advice are no help at all. Filled with the witty dialogue and richly authentic detail that Karen Cushman's work is known for, Matilda Bone is a compelling comic novel about a girl who learns to see herself and others clearly, to laugh, and to live contentedly in this world. Author's note.
