‘Dunant’s Isabella is a triumph – she is too ferocious, too alive to be a mere whisp of a ghost. Dunant gives her a brilliantly lively afterlife.’ - Antonia Senior

We’re delighted to see 'The Marchesa' by Sarah Dunant included in The Times’ round-up of the year’s most notable historical fiction, selected by Antonia Senior.

Narrated by the ghost of Isabella d’Este – the formidable marchioness of Mantua and a great patron of the arts – Dunant’s novel paints a vivid portrait of Renaissance Italy, weaving together politics, love and the masterpieces Isabella collected. 🎨

A brilliant recognition for a book that brings history ferociously, and beautifully, to life.

This month’s picks include a Marchesa haunting an Italian archive and a Tasmanian beast hunt
