Gemini - first US edition
by Dorothy Dunnet - signed
Eighth and final novel in the 'House of Niccolo' series. Nicholas returns to Scotland to settle old debts and call in old markers. The twenty-three page synopsis of the previous books along with a twelve-page list of characters will help you anchor yourself in the plot line, while Dorothy Dunnett vividly paints pictures of life in the world of the fifteenth century, as Nicholas comes full circle.
Scotland, 1477. As Nicholas de Fleury and his
clever wife Gelis move between the countries where his bank has made its mark
(Burgundy, Flanders, Germany, France, and England), he finally unlocks the door
to his past--but not before his physical strength, his willpower, and his
humanity have been tested to the breaking point by royalty, the gentry, the
clergy, and his own family. A dazzling conclusion to this vivid re-creation of
the early Renaissance.
