(2) YA Barnhouse, inspired by Dame Margery Kempe's fifteenth-century autobiography detailing her religious pilgrimage to Rome, here tells the servant's side of the story. Filled with vivid descriptions of medieval life and superbly researched, the story succeeds in creating a feisty heroine who accurately reflects her time period while still engaging readers today.
