This captivating medieval England-set book is another captivating work by the author of Catherine, Called Birdy. Until she meets Jane the Midwife and takes up her apprenticeship, the girl only known as Brat has no family, no home, and little hope for the future. Brat, who renames herself Alyce, develops wisdom, self-assurance, and the bravery to want "a full belly, a contented heart, and a place in this world" as she assists the irritable Jane in giving birth. The hilarious and moving tale of Alyce's achievement of her goals is set against the vibrant background of medieval village life. A last comment addresses midwifery in the past and now. A novel that won the Newbery Medal.
