What is Restoration about?

In Rose Tremain’s wry historical novel, a student abandons his studies to revel in gluttony, indolence and buffoonery at the Court of King Charles II."A regal work—here, brought to triumphant attainment, are those elusive ideals of the historical novelist." - Ruth Rendel, Sunday TelegraphHaving forsaken Medicine for the Court, Robert Merivel finds favour with the King and serves as ‘paper groom’ to the youngest royal mistress in exchange for an estate and knighthood. But by falling in love with her himself, he violates the rules and is banished from Court. Merivel’s enforced purgatory leads to work in a Quaker Bedlam - and a yet more painful fall from grace - before he can achieve spiritual and social restoration."Headstrong, ambitious and lustful... Tremain reinvents the historical novel with flamboyant wit and vivid energy." - John Walsh, Reader's DigestRose Tremain is the author of 16 novels and five collections of short stories and was on the stellar 1983 Granta Best of Young British novelists. Her own books have won her a slew of awards, including a Whitbread award and the Orange Prize, and she has also taught at the University of East Anglia and served as its Chancellor.
