Kennedy University before resigning in 1996 to write full-time. She has a bachelor of arts degree in Greek and English from Stanford University and master's degrees in human behavior and museum studies.sup For 11 years she was adjunct professor in the Museum Studies Department at John F. She's another reason why I want to write professionally one day because of her dedication to make sure her craft is as authentic as it can get.Karen Cushman (born October 4, 1941) is an American writer of historical fiction.Ĭushman's 1995 novel The Midwife's Apprentice won the Newbery Medal for children's literature, and her 1994 novel Catherine, Called Birdy won a Newbery Honor. Actually, the fact that she studies the time periods she writes about so thoroughly is the reason why I've made a point to read all of her books. Third-Karen Cushman really did her homework with this novel. I've been a fan of Jenny Sterlin since I was a kid, so she can really do no wrong as a narrator for me. Good for me, I am not a part of those "some." I found the novel charming, engaging, and informative. Some may not find Catherine's spunky behavior appropriate for a medieval setting.
Some may not like the day by day treatment of the narrative. It's set in Medieval Europe in a diary format from a 14-year-old girl. Although, I'll have to tell you, that it may not be for everyone. First-why is the cover to this audiobook title so vastly different from the book? Don't let it fool you! Second-this book was my jam in middle school.
