"An engrossing, well-written, and fast-paced" (Joy Fielding, New York Times bestselling author) historical novel following a woman in sixteenth-century Venice as she risks it all to save her missing husband. Hannah Levi is renowned throughout Venice for her gift at coaxing reluctant babies from their mothers using her secret "birthing spoons."

Paperback. Condizione: Fair. A sweeping work of historical fiction set in 16th-century Constantinople, The Harem Midwife is a richly detailed novel of Jewish exile, palace intrigue, and dangerous secrets inside the Ottoman Empire. In 1578, Hannah and Isaac Levi--Venetian Jews forced from their homeland--have rebuilt their lives in the glittering yet volatile world of Sultan Murat III's court. Isaac prospers in the thriving silk trade, while Hannah has become one of the most sought-after midwives in Constantinople, attending the women of the imperial harem. When Hannah is summoned to the palace, she encounters Leah, a young Jewish girl abducted and delivered into the sultan's harem.

But as court politics tighten and a mysterious stranger from Venice threatens Hannah's fragile peace, long-buried secrets begin to surface. In a world ruled by power, faith, and survival, one misstep could destroy everything she and Isaac have built.

Nevertheless, she dreams of establishing a cosmetics business and leaving the poverty-stricken Lower East Side tenements behind. She has lived there with her family ever since they fled Russia, forced to emigrate after a group of Cossacks burned down their village, and her memories continue to haunt her. Giddy tries to focus on the future until, during an evening streetcar ride, she thinks she recognizes one of the Cossacks who changed her life forever.
