Set in the 14th century, The Midwife's Apprentice follows a nameless, homeless girl known as Brat, who is taken in by Jane the Midwife after surviving a harsh winter in a dung heap. As Brat learns the midwifery craft and the art of herbal remedies, she embarks on a journey of self-discovery, independence, and pride. This lyrical, Newbery Medal-winning tale captures the complexities of village life and the bond between teacher and apprentice.
