Description
In the Name of the Family by Sarah Dunant is a gripping historical fiction novel that brings to life the tumultuous years of the Borgia family. A complex and brutal tale of power, passion, and politics, this book offers a fresh perspective on one of history's most infamous ruling families. Set against the backdrop of 1502, the story follows Lucrezia, Cesare, and their father Rodrigo as they navigate the treacherous world of Renaissance politics. With the help of Niccolo Machiavelli, a young diplomat who becomes embroiled in their lives, Dunant masterfully weaves together a narrative that is both thrilling and thought-provoking. As Lucrezia discovers her own power and Cesare's relationship with Machiavelli takes a dark turn, the boundaries between loyalty, duty, and ambition are constantly tested. With its rich historical context and well-developed characters, In the Name of the Family is a compelling exploration of one of history's most fascinating families.
