The Miniaturist, set in 17th century Amsterdam, is a riveting tale of dualities: love and obsession, betrayal and retribution, appearance and reality.

Written in a style that is at once both intoxicating and thrilling, The Miniaturist is a novel possessed of an extraordinarily original voice, weaving an addictive plot with complex characters and an atmosphere of the profoundly mysterious. The Miniaturist, with its visceral take on race, class and sex, is a must-read to fans of The Goldfinch and The Girl With the Pearl Earring.
