Birdy’s father is trying to find a husband for her. He is greedy and selfish, and trying to find the richest man, even if he is the least appealing to her. Birdy uses her cunning and is able to escape several suitors. But, the wealthiest of them all arrives seeking a wife. Birdy knows that this one will be the toughest one of all to get rid of.
There are several elements to this book that make for good reading. With this book taking place in a world different than our own, it brings alive the religious beliefs and medical treatments in that day. It is easy to read and understand. I would recommend it to girls who are in late elementary school or middle school.
