This novel is written as a 17th century historical novel about Venetia Stanley and her husband, Kenelm Digby, real people. She was a beauty and went to great lengths to preserve her beauty and youth; he was an alchemist and explorer seeking to reconstitute life. It is set in the time of Charles I and the 21st century. The author has been described as writing with "anachronistic verve", and the book is a witty read.
