Summary: Matilda, raised in seclusion for prayer and study, is thrust into the bustling world of Blood and Bone Alley. As assistant to Red Peg the Bonesetter, she confronts the gritty realities of life, far removed from her Latin texts. Amidst the chaos, Matilda must navigate her disdain for worldly tasks like mixing poultices and treating patients. Her sharp-tongued saints offer little guidance, leaving her to find wisdom in unexpected places. Will Matilda embrace the messy, vibrant life around her, discovering that laughter and love might be the true remedies she needs?
