Publication Date: February 14, 2012
Gallery Press Publishing
352p
{SYNOPSIS}
Hannah Levi is renowned for her gift at coaxing reluctant babies from
their mothers using her secret “birthing spoons.” When a Christian count
implores her to attend his dying wife and save their unborn son, she is
torn. A Papal edict forbids Jews from rendering medical treatment to
Christians, but the count’s payment is enough to ransom Hannah’s
husband, Isaac, who has been captured at sea. Can she refuse her duty to
a woman who is suffering? Hannah’s choice entangles her in a
treacherous family rivalry that endangers the child and threatens her
voyage to Malta, where Isaac, believing her dead in the plague, is
preparing to buy his passage to a new life.

This really sounds like a great book, Amy. I'm interested to see how midwives plied their trade during that time period. The idea of the spoons is very thought-provoking. Again, we see how religion played such a huge part in every day life then. I'm looking forward to reading Roberta Rich's book and as I love Venice, I'm sure that her descriptions will be wonderful as well. Thanks so much for sharing this great synopsis, Amy. Sure hope to be selected as a winner of this ARC.

This really sounds like a fascinating book! Venice is a very interesting city to read about, and midwifery an interesting topic in a story. Hanna seems like a very interesting character too. I'd love to win a copy!
