One could consider 'Midwives' by Chris Bohjalian. This novel delves deep into the world of midwifery and the complex situations surrounding birth. It's a story that not only shows the medical aspects but also the emotional and ethical dilemmas that can occur during childbirth. It makes you think about the different perspectives of the characters involved, from the midwife to the family members.

Secret histories novels often involve hidden knowledge or events. They might deal with things like secret societies, for example, a group that has been influencing historical events from the shadows.
One of the hidden histories could be the political undertones. Baum's original Oz novels were written during a time of social and political change. For example, the idea of a land with different regions and rulers might be a veiled commentary on different political entities. Another aspect could be the exploration of gender roles. Dorothy, a female protagonist, challenges traditional gender norms in her adventures in Oz. She is brave and resourceful, which was not always the typical portrayal of female characters at that time. Also, the hidden history might involve the cultural references. Oz has a unique culture with its own languages, customs, and social hierarchies, which could be inspired by real - world cultures that Baum was exposed to.
Some of the best include 'An Experiment with Time' by John W. Campbell. It explores time and alternate timelines in an interesting way. There is also 'The Guns of the South' by Harry Turtledove. This story involves time - traveling Confederates who change the outcome of the American Civil War. Additionally, 'Lion Time in Timbuctoo' by Alfred Bester is an interesting take on alternate history with its unique African - centered story.
One famous case histories novel is 'The Devil in the White City' by Erik Larson. It combines the true story of the 1893 Chicago World's Fair with the story of a serial killer who used the fair as his hunting ground.
Sure. 'The Red Tent' is a great one. It gives a very unique view of birth from an ancient perspective.
