Review of 'The Working Life - A Medieval Monk (The Working Life)' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
Not as good as I hoped it would be. It did provide some basic info, but the subject is so broad that sometimes generalizations were made that resulted in the text contradicting itself. For example, it would first say that monks did such and such, and later say monks did not do such and such, and it was not made explicit that two different monastic orders were being discussed. Also, the text was repetitive and I believe some of the image captions were incorrect.
