Review:
"The details of 16th-century life in Constantinople are delightfully portrayed, the storyline is compelling .... "The Harem Midwife" is an entertaining read, sure to please those who enjoyed "The Midwife of Venice" and certain to find new fans as well."--"The Vancouver Sun""Rich describes the opulence of royal life in Constantinople set against conspiracy and betrayal. There is perfidy amidst the lushness of rooms overflowing with silks and jeweled brocades and infused with the scent of orange blossoms .... In Rich's Constantinople, the more heavenly the surroundings, the more treacherous the characters, and Hannah must figure out whom to trust." --Toronto Star
