He maintained it, in secrecy, from 1660, the year of the Restoration, until 1669 when fear of blindness prevented his daily labours.

Famous passages include descriptions of The Plague and the Great Fire of London.
DescriptionIn the tradition of Maeve Binchy comes a novel about four women, friends since college. According to the "circle journal" they've used to keep in touch, they seem to have the lives they dreamed of. Liz, the hippie activist, fights for justice in Washington, D.C. Tess, who always wanted to be a writer, teaches literature in the Midwest and is married to another professor. Amanda, considered the prettiest by the group, enjoys a perfect marriage to her college boyfriend. And then there is Grace.

Now, she is fighting for her life, and when her friends gather around her to lend their support, she is not the only one who is forced to disclose, and face, the truth.
