Reach for this book when your teenager is feeling stifled by societal expectations or is struggling to reconcile their personal dreams with a preordained future. Set against the vibrant, meticulously researched backdrop of 14th-century England, the story follows Anne, a young woman who flees her convent school to avoid an arranged marriage. Her journey is one of self-discovery, humor, and burgeoning independence as she meets a likeminded traveling companion and learns to navigate the world on her own terms. It is a lighthearted yet sophisticated look at the universal desire for autonomy. Parents will appreciate the rich historical detail and the way it validates a young person's need to define their own identity. The prose is elegant and witty, making it a perfect bridge for readers transitioning from middle grade adventures to more complex classical literature.
