Things have always been the same on Mount Eskel and look as if they will never change. Miri is not allowed to work in the quarry and feels left out and longing for more. Then she gets her chance: their village has been selected to provide the prince with his new bride, but first all the village girls must go to school to learn how to read and write, to behave as they would need to in court, and how to talk to people 'properly'. Miri loves the chance to learn more, but in the end, will she want to leave the village forever? This book is quite old - written in 2005 - but I only just discovered it, and am so glad that I did!
Who would enjoy this? Anyone who loves a great story, absorbing and well-told with believable characters should enjoy this excellent book.
