About this book
In 1686 Amsterdam, eighteen-year-old Nella Oortman arrives at the grand canal house of a wealthy merchant she has married but barely knows. Her wedding gift is a cabinet-sized replica of the house, and the mysterious miniaturist she commissions to furnish it begins sending pieces that reveal secrets no outsider should know. As Nella learns the truth about her husband, his formidable sister and the servants, the household's hidden lives press against the strict morality of the Dutch Golden Age. Atmospheric, briskly plotted and rich in period detail, with a faint uncanny shimmer running beneath the realism.
