Roland, a young man from Barcelona who inherited a passion for healing others from his deceased mother, has rebelled against his family''s wishes and chosen to attend medical school in France. The university in Montpellier is the most prestigious medical school in all of Europe, and yet Roland is quickly disillusioned by his professors'' false teachings. Seeking more accurate knowledge of the body, he leaves Montpellier and apprentices himself to a surgeon in nearby Arles for the summer. Roland soon finds himself with two mentors in Arles - Hubert, a master surgeon, and Isaac, a Jewish doctor who advocates searching for remedies in ancient texts and testing them on patients - both of whose lessons he absorbs readily. But when he falls in love with Magali, a young woman suffering from a mental illness, he extends his quest for the truth about the body to include the truth about the mind. Readers who loved Rachel Kadish''s The Weight of Ink will be drawn to Roland''s story as he follows the woman he loves into her ''labyrinth of the spirit'' - one filled with wonder, mystery, betrayal, and love - and find themselves enthralled by this finely wrought depiction of the beauty and danger of life in early Renaissance Provence.
