The kind of book that reminds you why you fell in love with
reading
*S. J. Watson, author of Before I Go to Sleep*
A fabulously gripping read that will appeal to fans of Girl With a
Pearl Earring and The Goldfinch, but Burton is a genuinely new
voice with her visceral take on sex, race and class . . . Burton
writes great complex female characters
*Observer*
A terrific novel: compelling cast, gripping plot, writing to
savour
*Nathan Filer, author of The Shock of the Fall*
A remarkable debut - complex, involving and deeply atmospheric
*Deborah Moggach, author of Tulip Fever*
The Miniaturist by Jessie Burton is set in 17th century Amsterdam
where a trader presents his new wife Nella with a miniature replica
of their home. Its tiny occupants mirror their real-life
counterparts and show Nella what grave dangers lie in wait.
*Daily Express*
Utterly beguiling and impeccably written. I am missing the
characters already
*Emylia Hall, author of The Book of Summers*
A delight on every page, The Miniaturist completely immerses the
reader in sumptuous but strict seventeenth-century Amsterdam.
Burton's novel is lovingly done, and exquisite to read
*Naomi Wood, author of Mrs. Hemingway*
Utterly transporting . . . My first instinct on finishing this book
was to immediately read it again
*Hannah Kent, author of Burial Rites*
