    25. august 1923 – 9. november 2001

    Dorothy Dunnett bola škótska autorka historických románov, známa svojimi prepracovanými a detailnými príbehmi. Jej diela sa vyznačujú hlbokým skúmaním ľudskej psychológie a zložitých historických udalostí. Dunnettová majstrovsky prepája politické intrigy s osobnými drámami, čím čitateľom ponúka pohlcujúci zážitok. Jej štýl je pestrý a svieži, čo z nej robí nezabudnuteľnú rozprávačku.
