From the author of The Gustav Sonata

The wonderful new historical novel set in seventeenth-century England from Rose Tremain, author of Restoration (shortlisted for the Booker Prize), The Road Home (winner of the Orange Prize) and Trespass (a Richard & Judy pick). Merivel has been called ‘wonderfully entertaining’ (Guardian Books of the Year) and ‘an unadulterated delight’ (Independent) and has been shortlisted for the Walter Scott Prize for Historical Fiction.

The gaudy years of the Restoration are long gone and Robert Merivel, physician and courtier to King Charles II, sets off for the French court in search of a fresh start. But royal life at the Palace of Versailles – all glitter in front and squalor behind – leaves him in despair, until a chance encounter with the seductive Madame de Flamanville, allows him to dream of a different future.

But will that future ever be his? Summoned home urgently to attend to the ailing King, Merivel finds his loyalty and skill tested to their limits.

His narration is by turns rueful, comic, despairing and joyful; but it’s always bursting with life, always good-hearted - and always entirely loveable" (James Walton Daily Mail)"A delight" (Lucy Beresford Literary Review)"At times witty and enchanting, on other occasions full of doubt and self-loathing, Merivel remains a stunning achievement. He is Everyman and speaks to us all" (Virginia Blackburn Sunday Express)"Exuberance is a very hard thing to sustain in a novel… However, Tremain brings it off brilliantly. As one might expect, this is a very funny novel, full of picaresque adventure, hapless accidents and ingeniously wrought slapstick. However, it is also a very moving and beautiful novel. There are passages here which I found myself reading over and over again simply in order to savour them. Merivel: A Man of His Time may have been a long time coming, but it’s been well worth the wait" (John Preston Mail on Sunday)"Merivel is excellent company. Writing with a mimic’s ear for conversation, whimsical one moment, grave the next, Tremain has an underlying preoccupation here: the last third of live, love and loss, loneliness and vanity" (Maggie Fergusson Intelligent Life)Présentation de l'éditeurFrom the author of The Gustav SonataThe wonderful new historical novel set in seventeenth-century England from Rose Tremain, author of Restoration (shortlisted for the Booker Prize), The Road Home (winner of the Orange Prize) and Trespass (a Richard & Judy pick).

On l'adore avec toutes ses faiblesses traversant la cour de Charles II d'Angleterre , visitant Versailles, séjournant dans un château en Suisse mais chérissant avant tout son manoir dans la campagne de Norfolk. On entre dans son intimité et dans son coeur car le roman écrit à la première personne nous permet de le connaitre dans toute sa complexité avec un regard sur lui-même teint d'ironie et d'auto-dérision.Rose Tremain est une excellente auteure. Ce roman est adroitement travaillé, mais jamais prétentieux ni pompeux. Elle a un regard plein d'humanisme pour ses personnages et un réel respect pour ses lecteurs. Comme dans "Restoration" on retrouve un style inspiré du 17ème siècle (avec de très sympathiques Majuscules !!) Quand elle compare le château de Versailles à une oeuvre musicale on ne peut qu'être impressionné !! Mais où est le 17émé siècle sans quelques scènes paillardes ? Je vous invite dans une diligence en partance pour la Suisse et vous ne passerez plus devant la bonne ville de Besançon dans le même état d'esprit !!C'est un roman abouti qui traite des thèmes universels: l'amour, l'amitié, l'angoisse face au vieillissement, la maladie et la mort. Et, en plus, on ne lit pas un roman historique mais on VIT dans le 17ème siècle .Pour décrire ce que j'ai ressenti en terminant cette lecture je ne peux que citer notre héros quand, après une soirée passée en compagnie de son roi, sa fille Margaret ainsi que quelques amis à jouer à "Shuttlecock", il dit : "we did not want these games to end .....it was as if all my Melancholy had been swept away from my heart and sent by the Shuttlecock into some faraway void."
