The book Matilda Bone, by Karen Cushman is a historical fiction book. This book includes the themes lack of hygiene, religion, and medicine. A few moods in this book are loneliness, longingness, and appreciation. The book includes lack of hygiene because especially for the way the doctors prepared their “miracles”. Sometimes they didn’t turn out well because it wasn’t clean. Matilda Bone includes the theme religion. She is really religious and she is very strict with it. She prays to the saints all of the time and doesn't eat "unclean" food. It also includes the theme medicine. Again with the doctors, their job is important but most times it ends up that the patient dies. Although, some do get cured and live.
