이 책은 암흑시기로 불리었던 중세의 유럽으로 독자들을 데려갑니다. 그리고 스스로를 존중할 줄 모르고 스스로를 사랑할 줄 모르는, 어떠한 선택권이나 힘도 지니고 있지 않은 고아 소녀 앨리스를 통해 어둡고 우울한 전개 속에서 새로운 희망과 성취를 이뤄가는 과정을 보여 줍니다. 그리고 책을 읽다보면 궁금한 생각이 들기도 합니다. “왜 이렇게 무거운 이야기를 수많은 부모들이 아이들에게 들려주는 걸까요?”

Ingram
A homeless medieval waif who names herself Alyce is taken in by the village midwife, befriends a cat, learns about delivering babies, and confronts failure when an infant dies. By the author of Catherine, Called Birdy. Reprint. Newbery Medal Winner.
Booklist
Like Cushman's 1994 Newbery Honor Book, Catherine, Called Birdy, this novel is about a strong, young woman in medieval England who finds her own way home. Of course, it's a feminist story for the 1990s, but there's no anachronism. This is a world, like Chaucer's, that's neither sweet nor fair; it's rough, dangerous, primitive, and raucous. Cushman writes with a sharp simplicity and a pulsing beat. From the first page you're caught by the spirit of the homeless, nameless waif, somewhere around 12 years old, "unwashed, unnourished, unloved, and unlovely," trying to keep warm in a dung heap. She gets the village midwife, Jane Sharp, to take her in, befriends a cat, names herself Alyce, and learns something about delivering babies. When she fails, she runs away, but she picks herself up again and returns to work and independence. Only the episode about her caring for a homeless child seems contrived. The characters are drawn with zest and affection but no false reverence. The midwife is tough and greedy ("she did her job with energy and some skill, but without care, compassion, or joy"), her method somewhere between superstition, herbal lore, common sense, and bumbling; yet she's the one who finally helps Alyce to be brave. Kids will like this short, fast-paced narrative about a hero who discovers that she's not ugly or stupid or alone. |
