It’s when Nella commissions pieces from an unseen miniaturist that clues start to emerge. This is a home of secrets, from Johannes to his rigid sister Marin and even the servants, all have their hidden lives. As a wedding present, Johannes has commissioned a cabinet house based on his incredible home. It followed the story of Nella, who has just become married to wealthy Amsterdam merchant Johannes Brandt and has been uprooted from the country to a large home in the city. I picked up The Miniaturist in our tiny bookstore just on the strength of the cover and I wasn’t disappointed. I have to admit to being a HUGE Jessie Burton fan.
