Merivel: A Man Of His Time (2012) - Plot & Excerpts

I won this Free book throught Goodreads first-reads. Merival,a doctor, travels to France from England. When his daughter is stricken with typhus, he is able to cure her. He also removes a woman's cancerous tumor. He had good doctoring skills. He spends time at the court of Versailles. I didn't find this book appealing to me. It wasn't very interesting. I'll have to read another of Rose Tremain's books. Enjoyed the sequel to Restoration, where we are introduced to Robert Merivel, a man living in London in 1600s and a close friend of the King. I'm glad I read the first book before this one, so I could more deeply observe the arc of Merivel's life--his foolishness finally leading to wisdom. And once he proves his huge heart you tolerate more the lascivious misdeeds of his time. A very satisfying two-book read, wrapped up beautifully.
