Overview
The romance of the physician Valentine and blind Julia provides the central thread of this engrossing novel, which brings alive the world of the Roman empire at the time of Claudius II; a time when Christians were among those whose deaths provided public entertainment. It is a novel with remarkable resonance, its ideas startlingly relevant to our own times: globalisation versus fundamentalism; reason versus superstition; civil law versus personal freedom; the perverse gratifications of violence and sex; and the power of passionate love to overcome anything.
