Thank you for remembering Dorothy on what would have been her 103rd birthday.
As long as people keep reading historical fiction her books will be revered.
@asls.org.ukDorothy Dunnett (1923–2001) was born #OTD, 25 Aug, in Dunfermline. She is best known as a writer of #HistoricalFiction – in particular the six-part LYMOND CHRONICLES that begin with those fateful words:
“Lymond is back.”
