Autorenporträt
Diantha Kelloway Broster, known by her pen name D. K. Broster, was a prolific British author most prominent in the early to mid-20th century. Born on August 2, 1877, in Liverpool, she is best remembered for her historical novels, often set in the Scottish Highlands. Broster served as a Red Cross nurse during World War I, an experience that no doubt influenced her later work. Following the war, she commenced a successful literary career. 'The Gleam in the North' is the second novel in her well-received Jacobite Trilogy. The series begins with 'The Flight of the Heron' and concludes with 'The Dark Mile.' These works showcase Broster's intense narrative style and her ability to blend historical accuracy with compelling fiction — a craft that earned her a dedicated readership during her lifetime. Her novels are known for their adventurous plots, vivid descriptions of the Scottish landscape, and the delicate portrayal of the human spirit amidst the trials of historical conflicts. Broster's literary output is not limited to the Jacobite series; her oeuvre includes other novels such as 'The Yellow Poppy' and 'Couching at the Door,' a collection of short stories with supernatural themes. D. K. Broster passed away on February 7, 1950, but her contribution to historical fiction remains appreciated by scholars and enthusiasts of the genre.
