285 BC. Irene is fifteen and lives with her father in Athens. Her world falls apart when he is imprisoned; she flees with Herophilus, a physician relative, to start her life on the Mediterranean, meeting characters whom we know as historical. The adventures of Irene bring us close to a time when medicine was in its infancy. A fascinating life story.
