Sequel to the wonderful historical novel Restoration. I don't think it quite matches up to that book but still an entertaining read, funny, tragic and moving in turns. Merivel is still a character we can care about and Tremain surprises us again and again with the twists and turns that his life in Charles II's England takes.

Released at old gang meet up.

Picked up at Meet Up as I do like Rose Tremain, Didn't realise it was a sequel though but we'll give it a try anyway

Well written and well researched. I could really picture the times, the fashion, the diseases, the smells. Merivel did annoy me at times with his self pity and despair but the whole story kept me interested
