'One of the great imaginative creations in English literature'
Daily Telegraph A dazzling novel of loyalty and dreams set in
Restoration England. The gaudy years of the Restoration are long
gone and Robert Merivel, physician and courtier to King Charles II,
sets off for the French court in search of a fresh start. But royal
life at the Palace of Versailles - all glitter in front and squalor
behind - leaves him in despair, until a chance encounter with the
seductive Madame de Flamanville, allows him to dream of a different
future. But will that future ever be his? Summoned home urgently to
attend to the ailing King, Merivel finds his loyalty and skill
tested to their limits. Rose Tremain has sold over one million
copies of her books. PRAISE FOR MERIVEL 'This book is richly
marbled with intelligence, compassion and compelling characters'
