520 "1666. It is a year after plague has devastated England.
Young widow Cecilia Thorowgood is a prisoner, trapped and
isolated within the cavernous London townhouse of her
older sister. At the mercy of a legion of doctors who fail
to cure her grief with their impatient scalpels, Cecilia
shows no signs of improvement. Soon, her sister makes a
decision borne of desperation: she hires a new physician,
someone known for more unusual methods. But he is a
foreigner. A Jew. And despite his attempts to save Cecilia,
he knows he cannot quell the storm of grief that rages
within her. There is no easy cure for melancholy. David
Mendes fled Portugal to seek a new life in London, where
he could practice his faith openly and leave the past
behind. Still reeling from the loss of his beloved friend,
struggling with his religion and his past, David finds
himself in this foreign land, free and safe, but incapable
of happiness -- caring not even for himself, but only for
his ailing father. The security he has found in London
threatens to disappear when he meets Cecilia, and he finds
himself torn between his duty to medicine and the beating
of his own heart. He is the only one who can see her pain;
the glimmers of light she emits, even in her gloom, are
enough to make him believe once more in love. Facing
seemingly insurmountable challenges, David and Cecilia
must endure prejudice, heartbreak, and calamity before
they can be together. A Great Fire is coming -- and with
the city in flames around them, love has never felt so
impossible"--|cProvided by publisher.
