Robert Merivel abandons his medical studies for the vibrant Court of Charles II, where he finds unexpected favour with the King and serves as a paper groom to the youngest of the royal mistresses. But by falling in love with her, Merivel violates the one rule that will cast him out from his new-found paradise. Driven to work in a Quaker Bedlam, he must endure a yet more painful fall from grace before he can achieve spiritual and social restoration.
