Summary

Robert Merivel is a dissolute young medical student when an accident of fate leads him to the attention of King Charles II.

Restoration Summary

Restoration by Rose Tremain

Discover this bestselling classic from the author of The Gustav Sonata, charting Robert Merivel's rise and fall through glittering seventeenth-century society.


When a twist of fate delivers an ambitious young medical student to the court of King Charles II, he is suddenly thrust into a vibrant world of luxury and opulence. Blessed with a quick wit and sparkling charm, Robert Merivel rises quickly, soon finding favour with the King, and privileged with a position as 'paper groom' to the youngest of the King's mistresses.

But by falling in love with her, Merivel transgresses the one rule that will cast him out from his new-found paradise...
