Vroedvrouw Hannah en haar man Isaak Levi, ballingen uit Venetië, bouwen in Constantinopel een nieuw bestaan op. Isaak begint een eigen zaak in de zijdehandel; Hannah, de beste vroedvrouw van heel Constantinopel, oefent haar beroep uit onder de duizend haremvrouwen in het weelderige paleis van Sultan Murat III. Op een avond wordt Hannah onverwacht in het paleis ontboden, en ontmoet ze Leah, een arm Joods boerenmeisje, ontvoerd en gekocht voor de harem van de Sultan. De Sultan wil dat ze een erfgenaam voortbrengt, maar het meisje wil alleen maar terug naar huis, naar het leven dat ze altijd heeft gekend. Ze smeekt Hannah haar te helpen. Maar wíl Hannah dat? Zal ze haar leven en haar baan in de waagschaal stellen om dit meisje te redden, of hecht ze meer waarde aan de hoogachting van de Sultan? Een avontuurlijk en meeslepend boek, vol fascinerende, onvergetelijke personages. Deze roman zal de fans van De Vroedvrouw uit Venetië zeker bevallen en Roberta's reputatie als een van de meeste geliefde auteurs van historische romans verder versterken.

At midnight, the dogs, cats, and rats rule Venice. The Ponte di Ghetto Nuovo, the bridge that leads to the ghetto, trembles under the weight of sacks of rotting vegetables, rancid fat, and vermin. Seeping refuse on the streets renders the pavement slick and the walking treacherous. It was on such a night that the men came for Hannah. Hannah Levi is famed throughout Venice for her skills as a midwife but, as a Jew, the law forbids her from attending a Christian woman. However, when the Conte appears at her door in the dead of night, Hannah's compassion is sorely tested. And with the handsome reward he is offering, she could ransom back her husband, currently imprisoned on the island of Malta. But if she fails in her endeavours to save mother and child, will she be able to save herself, let alone her husband?

Reminiscent of Year of Wonders, a captivating debut novel of fireworks, fortune, and a young woman's redemption It is 1752 and seventeen-year-old Agnes Trussel arrives in London pregnant with an unwanted child. Lost and frightened, she finds herself at the home of Mr. J. Blacklock, a brooding fireworks maker who hires Agnes as an apprentice. As she learns to make rockets, portfires, and fiery rain, she slowly gains his trust and joins his quest to make the most spectacular fireworks the world has ever seen. Jane Borodale offers a masterful portrayal of a relationship as mysterious and tempestuous as any the Brontës conceived. Her portrait of 1750s London is unforgettable, from the grimy streets to the inner workings of a household where little is as it seems. Through it all, the clock is ticking, for Agnes's secret will not stay secret forever. Deeply atmospheric and intimately told from Agnes's perspective, The Book of Fires will appeal to readers of Geraldine Brooks, Sarah Waters, Sheri Holman, and Michel Faber.

Since the day Rhoda Mummau was baptized into the Old Order Mennonite Church and became the head midwife of Hopen Haus, she’s been torn between the needs of the unwed mothers under her care and her desire to conceal the secrets of her past. Contact with the outside world could provide medical advantages, but remaining secluded in the community gives her the anonymity she craves. Graduate student Beth Winslow is on a path she never would have chosen. Heartbroken after surrendering a baby to adoption, she devotes herself to her studies until she becomes pregnant again, this time as a surrogate. But when early tests indicate possible abnormalities, Beth is unprepared for the parents’ decision to end the pregnancy—and for the fierce love she feels for this unborn child. Desperate, she flees the city and seeks refuge at Hopen House. Past and present collide when a young woman named Amelia arrives to the sweeping countryside bearing secrets of her own. As Amelia’s due date draws near, Rhoda must face her past and those she thought she had left behind in order for the healing power of love and forgiveness to set them all free.

Karl May werd op 25 februari 1842 in Saksen geboren als zoon van een arme wever. Toen hij nog heel jong was, wilde hij al in sprookjes getuigen van zijn grote liefde voor God, mens en dier. De jonge dromer moest nog een harde strijd voeren met zichzelf en de wereld om hem heen. Op de kweekschool werd hij vals beschuldigd van diefstal, zodat hij enige maanden in de gevangenis moest doorbrengen. Dit bracht hem ertoe de wijde ruimten van Amerika en Afrika te zoeken om zijn rust en evenwicht terug te vinden. Aldus behield hij zijn jeugdideaal: een leraar te zijn voor eenvoudige mensen. Spoedig werd hij bekend als verteller van reisavonturen, en zijn roem ging heel de wereld over met de figuren van Winnetou en Old Shatterhand in Amerika, Hadsji Halef Omar en Kara Ben Nemsi in de Oriënt. Hij stierf op 30 maart 1912; zijn werk vindt nog steeds nieuwe lezers. In Bamberg is een Karl May-museum.

Gritty, heartrending and unputdownable – the story of two sisters sent first to an English, then an Australian orphanage in the aftermath of World War II. Rita and Rosie Stevens are only nine and five years old when their widowed mother marries a violent bully called Jimmy Randall and has a baby boy by him. Under pressure from her new husband, she is persuaded to send the girls to an orphanage – not knowing that the papers she has signed will entitle them to do what they like with the children. And it is not long before the powers that be decide to send a consignment of orphans to their sister institution in Australia. Among them – without their family's consent or knowledge – are Rita and Rosie, the throwaway children. What readers are saying about THE THROWAWAY CHILDREN: 'I haven't felt so immersed in a book in a very long time and have recommended to just about everyone' 'Heart wrenching' 'A truly powerful book'
