What this book is about
Christian Langland, Duke of Jervaulx — a brilliant, arrogant mathematician and champion rake — suffers a stroke that strips him of language and sends him to a lunatic asylum. Maddy Timms, a plain Quaker woman whose father knew the Duke's scientific work, is sent to care for him. What develops between them is one of romance fiction's most extraordinary relationships: built on patience, spiritual faith, and the painstaking reconstruction of a mind.
