Hannah Levi is known throughout 16th century Venice for her skill in midwifery. But when a Christian nobleman appears at her door in the Jewish ghetto, imploring her to help his wife who is dying in childbirth, Hannah's compassion is tested. Not only is it illegal for Jews to render medical treatment to Christians, it is punishable by torture and death. Roberta Rich, 2011 Paperback, Very Good 330 pages 354g 21 x 14.9 x 2.5 cm
