Best historical fiction ever written
Revisado: 03-18-23
It’s not hyperbole to say Dorothy Dunnett is the master of the genre with her beautiful evocative writing, exceptional research, perfect dialog and intricate story craft, with wonderful characters, real and fictional, led by the most entrancing, compelling character of Lymond. Narration brought it all to life.

Somewhere within the bejeweled labyrinth of the Ottoman empire, a child is hidden. Now his father, Francis Crawford of Lymond, soldier of fortune and the exiled heir of Scottish nobility, is searching for him while ostensibly engaged on a mission to the Turkish sultan. At stake is the political order of three continents, for Lymond's child is a pawn in a cutthroat game whose gambits include treason, enslavement, and murder. In that game's final move, which is played inside the harem of the Topkapi palace, Lymond will come face to face with his most implacable enemy.

Dunnett’s Lymond Chronicles are unsurpassed

Dorothy Dunnett is the best historical writer of any generation. Though an amazing challenge, Monteith does a wonderful job giving these books a voice!
