Medical student's rise and fall in royal court.

"Restoration" captivates with its rich historical tapestry. You'll find yourself lost in the opulence of King Charles II's reign as seen through the eyes of Robert Merivel. It's about the perilous balance between ambition and morality, and the glaring cost of transgression. Merivel's character is so vivid, it's as if his follies and journey of redemption are our own. It's a book that doesn't only portray an era—it makes you feel the profound human struggles within it.
