The Miniaturist
by Jessie Burton
In
1686, eighteen year old Nella Oortman enters an arranged marriage with a
much older, successful, merchant trader in Amsterdam. As a wedding
gift, her husband gives her a cabinet-sized replica of their home. A
mysterious miniaturist begins sending her tiny creations that replicate
their counterparts in the house. These eerie gifts from the miniaturist
help Nella unlock the many secrets of her new home. This book is
historical fiction at its best and will keep you turning the pages as
the secrets are revealed. -- recommended by Tammy T. - Collection Management Department
