{"product_id":"king-hereafter","title":"King Hereafter","description":"Back in print by popular demand--\"A stunning revelation of the historical Macbeth, harsh and brutal and eloquent.\" --\u003cb\u003eWashington Post Book World.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWith the same meticulous scholarship and narrative legerdemain she brought to her hugely popular Lymond Chronicles, our foremost historical novelist travels further into the past. In \u003cb\u003eKing Hereafter\u003c\/b\u003e, Dorothy Dunnett's stage is the wild, half-pagan country of eleventh-century Scotland. Her hero is an ungainly young earl with a lowering brow and a taste for intrigue. He calls himself Thorfinn but his Christian name is Macbeth. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDunnett depicts Macbeth's transformation from an angry boy who refuses to accept his meager share of the Orkney Islands to a suavely accomplished warrior who seizes an empire with the help of a wife as shrewd and valiant as himself. She creates characters who are at once wholly creatures of another time yet always recognizable--and she does so with such realism and immediacy that she once more elevates historical fiction into high art.","brand":"Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48833720975565,"sku":"9780375704031","price":21.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0557\/1529\/9533\/files\/imageloader_2f77d08a-4fa3-4f91-bedd-caaeac51bcf5.jpg?v=1790894462","url":"https:\/\/booksatmidnight.com\/products\/king-hereafter","provider":"Books At Midnight","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
