The Quality of Mercy (Thorndike Press Large Print Famous Authors)

Rebecca Lopez, the daughter of Queen Elizabeth's physician, guards secrets she dares not reveal. She is a Jew who practices her prohibited religion clandestinely and helps others of her banned faith escape persecution and death. But Rebecca's love of excitement sparks a romantic passion with would-be playwright Will Shakespeare, and plunges them both into a viper's nest of intrigue and murder.
