À propos de cet audio
"Fans of Outlander’s Claire Fraser will enjoy Lawhon’s Martha, who is brave and outspoken when it comes to protecting the innocent. . . impressive."—The Washington Post
"Once again, Lawhon works storytelling magic with a real-life heroine." —People Magazine
Maine, 1789: When the Kennebec River freezes, entombing a man in the ice, Martha Ballard is summoned to examine the body and determine cause of death. As a midwife and healer, she is privy to much of what goes on behind closed doors in Hallowell. Her diary is a record of every birth and death, crime and debacle that unfolds in the close-knit community. Months earlier, Martha documented the details of an alleged rape committed by two of the town’s most respected gentlemen—one of whom has now been found dead in the ice. But when a local physician undermines her conclusion, declaring the death to be an accident, Martha is forced to investigate the shocking murder on her own.
Over the course of one winter, as the trial nears, and whispers and prejudices mount, Martha doggedly pursues the truth. Her diary soon lands at the center of the scandal, implicating those she loves, and compelling Martha to decide where her own loyalties lie.
Clever, layered, and subversive, Ariel Lawhon’s newest offering introduces an unsung heroine who refused to accept anything less than justice at a time when women were considered best seen and not heard. The Frozen River is a thrilling, tense, and tender story about a remarkable woman who left an unparalleled legacy yet remains nearly forgotten to this day.

While the book is positioned as a historical mystery, the mystery itself isn’t the driving force. There are no shocking twists or wild reveals—but that’s not a flaw. The strength of this novel lies in its character depth and atmospheric immersion. Even in quieter moments, I found myself deeply engaged, thanks to lyrical prose and careful attention to detail. The Maine winter, the courtroom scenes, and the daily struggles of 18th-century women were all rendered with care and clarity.
I was struck by Martha - older, sharp-witted, confident, and uncompromising in her loyalty and sense of duty to women. Her moral compass never wavers, even when standing firm puts her reputation or safety at risk. It was a refreshing change to read about a mature FMC who carries the weight of experience, knowledge, and fierce integrity.
I also found the animals - Tempest, Brutus, and Ephraim’s hawk - to be quietly powerful symbols throughout. Tempest’s cautious trust and eventual bond with Martha echoed themes of intuition and care. Brutus, all brute strength and menace, the ever-present threat of violence and unchecked power. And Ephraim’s hawk—aloof, precise, and loyal. They added emotional texture and a symbolic weight to the story.
There’s something deeply satisfying about now knowing Martha Ballard’s name—about understanding the real tangible legacy she left behind, not just in her medical work and that of the (descended) women that came after her, but in the way she moved through a world designed to minimize her.
This is a book for anyone who loves historical fiction centered on strong, intelligent women who push against societal limits. It’s not a thriller—it’s a tribute. And it made me feel both admiration and pride.
Quietly Powerful Tribute
