The Harem Midwife by Roberta Rich - Here we go. This story has it all. Intrigue, history, good and bad characters male and female, and every word, paragraph and page moves the story forward so that you'll read it in a flash. It takes place in Constantinople in the 1500s where Hannah, a midwife to the Imperial Palace has complicated her life with secrets, each one for good cause. Civilization was cruel and petty in those days and those places, so Hannah has to be clever in every situation. You're bound to love it. There's even brief mention of a Goldfinch in this story, and it's a real bird, and I couldn't help but compare how much I was enjoying this book compared to the absolute chore it was to read the book entitled The Goldfinch.
