A funny coming-of-age novel about a fourteen-year-old girl's fight for freedom and right to self-determination in medieval England. Catherine's in trouble. Caught between a mother who is determined to turn her into the perfect medieval lady and a father who wants her to marry her off to much older and utterly repulsive suitor.
Luckily, Catherine has a plan. She has experience outwitting suitors and is ready to take matters into her own hands . . .
Karen Cushman's Catherine, Called Birdy is the inspiration for Prime Video's medieval comedy film directed by Lena Dunham, starring Bella Ramsey and Andrew Scott.
