Ann Benson "has written a spell-binding new novel that sweeps from fourteenth-century France to America in the year 2007 --- interweaving two gripping stories and two extraordinary eras. In this brilliantly imagined work of fiction, the author revisits the lives of two of her characters, physicians who are separated by centuries but united in their quest to uncover medicine's deepest secrets."
