You absolutely must reaed Dorothy Dunnett - I suggest first The House of Niccolo series of 8 books. All very lenghty but hard to put down. Her earlier series The Lymond Chronicles I still haven't read but everyone I've recommended these too has read both and loved them all. She bagan Lymond ...

I'm with Claes in 15th century Milan in Dorothy Dunnett's Niccolo Rising. It does have a complicated plot, but I'm really enjoying the book. Looking forward to book two of the series.

I'm in a split-time kind of thing: 1460s Flanders in Niccolo Rising and 1860s England in Drood.

I finished reading Niccolo Rising and have posted a review at www.HistoricalNovels.info. It cost me a good night's sleep the other night - just couldn't stop reading until I turned the last page. Talbin, what did you think of Swee ...

In sixteenth century Holland with Dorothy Dunnett's Niccolo Rising. Dunnett has many enthusiastic fans, so I stuck with this novel despite finding it frustratingly hard to follow for the first third of the book or so - there is a list of characters at the beginning with over 100 characters on it. ...

I highly recommend anything by Dorothy Dunnet. She has written two long series of historical novels. The House of Niccolo series covers the late 15th century. The Lymond Chronicles covers the 16th Century. Both series range across Europe and the Levant. Her characters are totally ...

... . Zij schreef twee series, de The Lymond Chronicles met thuisbasis het 16e eeuwse Schotland en daarna de House of Niccolo serie met thuisbasis het 15e eeuwse Brugge. Vanuit die thuisbases doorkruisen haar helden dan heel Europa, en beleven overal hun avonturen. Ze heeft haar ...

I'm reading Death was the Other Woman by Linda Richards right now. It's going fairly quickly & is a fun read. I have Niccolo Rising and Death of a Tart waiting for me next.

Just checked out of the library today Niccolo Rising and How to Cook a Tart

I recommend both of the Dorothy Dunnett series, namely the House of Niccolo series and the Lymond Chronicles series. The first is set in the 15th century European merchant world. There are eight novels in the Niccolo series, each as good as the one before, yet each demands about fifty pages ...

... Amazon and Abebooks it seems I finally will receive it soon. I am also considering Dorothy Dunnett's series about Niccolo Rising, which seems to revolve around the city in its golden age. Any other suggestions? It might be enough for a while, I guess...
