Description
Scotland, 1477: Nicholas de Fleury, former banker and merchant, has re-appeared in the land that, four years earlier, he had brought very close to ruin in the course of an intense commercial and personal war with secret enemies and with his clever wife Gelis.
Gemini brings to a dazzling conclusion Dorothy Dunnett’s House of Niccolo series, in which this peerless novelist has vividly re-created the dramatic, flamboyant world of the early Renaissance.
Now, in a book infused with wit and poetry, emotion and humor, action and mystery, she brings Nicholas de Fleury at last to choose his heart’s home, where he can exercise all his skills as an advisor to kings and statesmen, as a husband, a father, and a leader of men–and where, perhaps, we will discern a connection between him and that other remarkable personality, Francis Crawford, whose exploits Lady Dunnett recorded so memorably in The Lymond Chronicles.
