This is the story of Ruth Elazar ben Saul, a Jewish midwife who returns to her home, outside Cologne. Imbued with the radical ideas of Spinoza and with ancient Hebrew Kabbalism, her methods of dealing with illness lead to accusation of witchcraft and imprisonment. This title is from the author of ‘Quiver’, an epic love story of the 17th century.
