Description

A stunning revelation of the historical Macbeth, harsh and brutal and eloquent. Dorothy Dunnett's meticulous scholarship brings to life the wild, half-pagan country of eleventh-century Scotland in this gripping tale of intrigue and transformation. The story follows an ungainly young earl with a lowering brow and a taste for power, who seizes an empire with the help of a wife as shrewd and valiant as himself. With remarkable realism and immediacy, Dunnett depicts the characters of this bygone era, making historical fiction feel like high art once again. With its masterful narrative legerdemain and meticulous scholarship, King Hereafter is a compelling read for anyone interested in historical fiction.
