About this listen
A history of peasants in the Middle Ages, the story takes the listener into the life of Marion, the carpenter's wife, and her extended family as they struggle to survive through hardship, featuring a year in their lives at the mercy of the weather and the Lord of the Manor.
Existing without soap, paper or glass and only with the most basic of tools, we learn how they survive starvation, sickness, fire and natural disaster in their home on the edge of the Weald.

Following the year in a peasant woman's life
A detailed account of rural medieval life concerntrating on one woman anf her family in a non specified year, ( but i imagine life didn't change much down the decades, ) a pretty relentless round of domestic chores, the vagaries of diet during the year, small and larger tragedies interspersed with the occasional village celebration. My only criticism was that the reader was rather well spoken for most of the characters but that was a small point. Certainly seemed well researched and gave a sense of the precariousness and mundanity of the average peasants life though also a few celebrations of small pleasures .

Gutted it's over
I'm searching here in desperate hope of a second book!
Enjoyed this immensely. Sad to come to the end.
I would love to hear more about Marion, Peter, Alice and Peterkin

Informative and Well Narrated
An engaging and informative listen, which keeps you interested in the family and in the background and details of life in a small medieval village. Made me glad that I live now and not then!
