The Physician of London
The second book of a trilogy by Stephanie Cowell. Follows Nicholas Cooke into his adult life as a minister and physician in London during the final days of King James 1 rein into the turbulent days of King Charles. The history is true and the story intrigueing. I loved it and wish she had written the third edition but cannot find it anywhere. e-mail to her on facebook has not been answered. She has written Claude and Camille, so I guess I will read that. She is a very good writer.
