the blurb:
and epic love story set against the vivid backdrop of seventeenth century Europe.

Ruth bas Elazar Saul is a jewish midwife whose revolutionary methods combine the radical philosophy of Spinoza with the ancient way of the kabbala, leading to accusations of witchcraft. Her love affair with the Catholic cleric, Detlef von Tennen, may save her in the short term, but at a time of brutal repression and religious persecution, the price of belief, and love, is high.

i absolutely loved this huge book, i compare it with a block of decadent, rich and exquisite chocolate, i nibbled it one bit at a time and savoured it for a long time.

taking it to the meetup in Perth on Sun 28.

Picked up at meetup

Clearing out my bookshelves, don't think I will get to read this one and it needs to move along!
To be released at next meetup

Now adding to the OBCZ at my workplace.
Thanks!

This book is no longer at the OBCZ table, so we are assuming it has been picked up by someone to read and enjoy. Hopefully, it will be journalled at some stage of its travels.
