COMMUNITY REVIEWS

A look into another time submitted by FordAlpha on August 10, 2019, 10:12pm Like other novels by Karen Cushman, "Matilda Bone" presents a detailed look at the everyday life of ordinary people in medieval times. I was fascinated by the medieval period as a kid, and I loved to dive deep into the minutiae of history. I wish I'd had Karen Cushman's books to make the subject really come alive through the experiences of people like Matilda.
