Isabelle Schuler: author of Lady MacBethad
Isabelle is a Swiss-American actress, writer and former Waterstones bookseller.

In 2020, Schuler adapted Queen Hereafter into her debut novel, Lady MacBethad, published by Bloomsbury in 2023.
Based upon, ‘The Scottish Play,’ Lady MacBethad is an unputdownable, sweeping historical epic that reimagines the life of Gruoch – the real-life Scottish Queen – who inspired one of Shakespeare’s most famous characters.
