Caprice and Rondo

This is the seventh book in the House of Niccolò series, and while Dorothy Dunnett's books often provide enough context to follow the immediate plot, the intricate character development and long-running political and personal sagas are best appreciated by reading the preceding volumes first.

Like other books in the House of Niccolò series, Caprice and Rondo is deeply rooted in historical events and features real historical figures from 15th-century Europe, particularly focusing on the political and economic landscape of the time.
