This book was part of our Core C reading with Sonlight as part of our study of medieval times.
It was a very interesting and eye-opening read. Through poetry, prose and little snippets of history, you gain an understanding of how people in different statuses lived and thought during this time period. It was challenging, at times, to see how people of the lower classes were treated, but it was also convicting to be reminded that it is often how people are still treated today.
Academically, it great for vocabulary building and literature comparison as well as the historical value it offers. It is a good way to talk about difficult subjects, especially dealing with how people treat each other affording natural conversations about how God tells us to treat one another and follow His commands.
I give this book 4.5 stars on the whole.
Not sure if it falls into a reading category for my challenges.
