I was much more interested in the author's other book The Midwife's Apprentice. However, having read both, I just loved this book. I actual ended up rereading it several times over the years. Catherine is not your typical girl and her humor towards her everyday world is often times laugh out loud funny. It is also poignant at times however, and there is a lot of interesting history/customs that can be observed through her diary. I would recommend this book. (less)

Melissa This is for middle grades. I think 10-15 year old girls would be the most interested.
