Works for me!

Somebody else said they Kindled it — maybe try the author name? Karen Cushman.

You've very welcome!

I love that it's period-appropriate, but she still manages to give Birdy a period-appropriate happy ending. A grown-up book that just nails the time period (and is a cracking good read, too) is "Doomsday Book" by Connie Willis. It's about time-traveling historians from Oxford.

You are very welcome!

Very cool! I've read several of her books over the years, but this was my favorite.

Am grinning now. I think we're all going to end up rereading this very soon. At least I am.

*gasp* BOO KINDLE!

I've reread it so often. I think it really holds up.

Well, keep an eye on my replies — we can all start a book club!

It's like the really awful alternate version of "Catherine, Called Birdy."

*shudder*

Amen. The. Worst.*

Dreads are not looks. Dreads are a stylistic choice like a bad dress or ugly shoes.

Awesome human remains awesome in spite of intent of ratfink human.

I get exasperated with Edith but she's secretly my favorite because she has moxie!

Well, that quote just made me feel a tiny smidge better about my life.

This is such a sad question.

That screenshot is a complete troll!
