Peel me a Book
Sarah Dunant
“Beauty is an advantage, though it is the only one that fades with time.”
The Birth of Venus
In the Company of the Courtesan
Peel the Author
Sarah Dunant (b. 1950) is a British novelist and historian best known for her richly researched tales of Renaissance Italy. Before turning fully to historical fiction, she wrote thrillers — and you can feel that pulse in her historical work. The intrigue is never static: her cities breathe, sweat, and conspire.
Dunant’s gift is her ability to make the past tactile. Courtesans, artists, nuns, and merchants don’t stand as dusty figures; they inhale, bleed, scheme, and desire. She doesn’t use history as a backdrop — she lets it press against the body.

“Venice is a city built on water. It is a place where reality is defined by reflection.”
Her style is sumptuous yet edged, layering sensual description with the sudden violence of survival. Every chamber has shadows, every silk hem a secret.
