A simple tale, simply told. A step up from a beach read - think a well-researched historical romance.

Very intersting view of effects of religious power and politics, prejudice, and money in 17th century Germany and how two people of different faiths alter their lives to stay together. Beuatiful and traqic.

Story about a midwife during the 16th century who is branded a witch for her medical skill & knowledge, & her Jewish background. Love story intertwined made it an enjoyable read. I finished it in a week. Hard to imagine what women endured back then.... I couldnt have done it.
