King Hereafter Summary

King Hereafter by Dorothy Dunnett

In the 11th century, the young warlords of northern Europe, divided between pagans and followers of the White Christ, grappled endlessly for power. Many of them lost their heads in the process. Among those who didn't was an ungainly boy called Thorfinn who would grow to become one of the great kings of history, under his baptismal name of MACBETH. In this stunningly realized novel Dorothy Dunnett brings from the shadows a greathearted man, growing in stature to meet his inescapable destiny as ruler of a united Scotland. Brilliantly researched and grippingly told, KING HEREAFTER elevates historical fiction to a high art.

About Dorothy Dunnett

Frequently described as the finest historical fiction writer of her time, Dorothy Dunnett earned worldwide acclaim for her blend of scholarship and imagination. She is best known for her two superb series of historical fiction - The Lymond Chronicles and The House of Niccolo - set in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries and ranging across Europe and the Mediterranean, and for King Hereafter, the eleventh-century story of Earl Thorfinn of Orkney whom Dorothy believed was also King Macbeth. In 1992, Dorothy Dunnett was awarded the OBE for her services to literature, and in 2014 Dunnett's most enduring hero, Francis Crawford of Lymond, was voted Scotland's favourite literary character - beating the likes of Sherlock Holmes, Harry Potter and Ivanhoe. Dunnett died 9 November 2001, having sold half a million copies internationally.
