"Not only does this book strip the fairy from the tale of Cinderella, and show the true medieval challenges for a young woman (health, social, financial), but the research and sophisticated writing make this novel an enjoyable historical read. Those with medical knowledge will also catch the allusions to Ella's condition, and possibly be interested in the many health issues of the time."
