The phenomenal number one bestseller and a major BBC TV series.
Winner of the Specsavers National Book Award and Waterstones Book
of the Year. A Richard and Judy Book Club selection. Beautiful,
intoxicating and filled with heart-pounding suspense, Jessie
Burton's historical novel set in Amsterdam, The Miniaturist, is a
story of love and obsession, betrayal and retribution, appearance
and truth. On an autumn day in 1686, eighteen-year-old Nella
Oortman knocks at the door of a grand house in the wealthiest
quarter of Amsterdam. She has come from the country to begin a new
life as the wife of illustrious merchant trader Johannes Brandt,
but instead she is met by his sharp-tongued sister, Marin. Only
later does Johannes appear and present her with an extraordinary
wedding gift: a cabinet-sized replica of their home. It is to be
furnished by an elusive miniaturist, whose tiny creations mirror
their real-life counterparts in unexpected ways . . . Nella is at
first mystified by the closed world of the Brandt household, but as
she uncovers its secrets she realizes the escalating dangers that
await them all. Does the miniaturist hold their fate in her hands?
And will she be the key to their salvation or the architect of
their downfall? 'My first instinct on finishing this book was to
immediately read it again' - Hannah Kent, author of Burial Rites
