The Dorothy Dunnett Companion (Volume II)
"[Dunnett's novels are] vivid, engaging, densely plotted . . . sustained by a riot of tangible detail that makes real the world she has conjured up. . . . Dunnett brings to bear her remarkable powers of description, giving us the 15th-century Mediterranean in animated miniature. . . . The effect is spectacular." —The New York Times Book Review"[Dunnett is] the finest living writer of historical fiction." —The Washington Post Book World
