      Martha Ballard, eine Hebamme aus Maine, hat nie eine Gebärende verloren und ist eine Stimme der Wahrheit in einer Zeit, in der Frauen kaum Gehör finden. Ihr Leben und Tagebuch inspirieren diesen historischen Krimi, der im winterlichen Maine des Jahres 1789 spielt. Als der Kennebec River zufriert und die Leiche eines Mannes auftaucht, wird Martha gebeten, die Todesursache zu klären. Als Hebamme und Heilerin kennt sie die Geheimnisse der Kleinstadt Hallowell und hat zuvor eine mutmaßliche Vergewaltigung dokumentiert, die von angesehenen Bürgern begangen wurde – einer von ihnen ist nun tot. Während ein Arzt den Tod als Unfall erklärt, ist Martha überzeugt, dass es sich um Mord handelt und beginnt, auf eigene Faust zu ermitteln. Inmitten wachsender Gerüchte und Vorurteile wird ihr Tagebuch zum Zentrum des Skandals, was sie vor die Wahl stellt, wo ihre Loyalität liegt. Ariel Lawhons neuestes Werk präsentiert eine unbeugsame Heldin, die für Gerechtigkeit kämpft, und erzählt die bewegende Geschichte einer bemerkenswerten Frau, die ein unvergängliches Erbe hinterlassen hat. Ideal für Leserinnen von „Eine Frage der Chemie“ und „Der Gesang der Flusskrebse“, ist es auch in einer limitierten Ausgabe ein wunderschönes Geschenk.

    • "1789 год. Соседи уважают Марту Баллард, повитуху из небольшого городка Хэллоуэлл в штате Мэн, не только за знание медицины и сильный характер, но и за умение хранить секреты, столь необходимое в строгом пуританском обществе. Поэтому, когда в разгар зимы подо льдом реки находят тело мужчины, Марту первой вызывают осмотреть тело. Погибший — Джошуа Бёрджес, которого вместе с городским судьей Джозефом Нортом недавно обвинили в изнасиловании жены проповедника Ребекки Фостер. Марта, которая ухаживала за пострадавшей, является и свидетелем, и доверенным лицом Ребекки, и она подозревает, что гибель насильника неслучайна и за ней кроется нечто большее..." --

      In the cold of night, Martha Ballard tends to women; by day, she seeks justice. In 1789 Maine, when the Kennebec River freezes, Martha, a midwife and healer, is called to examine a body encased in ice. Her diary chronicles the births, deaths, and scandals of her close-knit community. Months prior, she recorded an alleged rape involving two respected gentlemen, one of whom is now dead. When a local physician dismisses the death as accidental, Martha must investigate the murder herself. As the trial approaches, she faces mounting whispers and prejudices while pursuing the truth. Her diary becomes central to the scandal, challenging her loyalties. Clever and subversive, this tale introduces an unsung heroine who defied societal norms in a time when women were often silenced. This gripping story highlights Martha's unwavering quest for justice, leaving a legacy that remains largely forgotten. Inspired by the true story of Martha Ballard, a renowned 18th-century midwife, this book appeals to fans of historical fiction and strong female protagonists. Readers have praised it as a powerful, absorbing narrative that resonates with contemporary themes of resilience and justice.
