Description
At the dawn of the Enlightenment, James Dyer's life is marked by a singular absence: pain. Born without feeling physical discomfort, he becomes a brilliant surgeon, yet struggles to connect with others on an emotional level.
As he travels to St Petersburg to inoculate the Empress Catherine against smallpox, Dyer encounters his nemesis and saviour, setting in motion a chain of events that will forever alter his existence.
This thought-provoking novel explores the complexities of human emotion and the search for connection in a world governed by reason and science.
