Merivel: Rose Tremain

[poliphilo]

This is the sequel or coda to Restoration, so most of the hard work- the world-building- has already been done. It's a lighter book, charming, funny, but with a dying fall.  Merivel, softened by age and now- for all his fleshly weakness- unequivocally a Good Man- is still the most delightful company.

Must read it. I really enjoyed Restoration.

I love Merivel. It's a treat to meet him again.
