The Apothecary's Daughter by Patricia Schonstein
A nobleman and his wife, an apothecary nun, an astronomer-mathematician, an inquisitor, a poet who is both lover and villain, a portraitist, a queen and loyal servants deftly act out a beautiful drama of tantalizing relationships. This book presents a story of inquisition, book burning, persecution and intolerance of new knowledge.
