The Miniaturist
by Jessie Burton
The Miniaturist is so ornately and darkly written. I found the book to be somewhat reminiscent of Daphne DuMaurier's darker work, particularly "Julian." However, as much as I enjoyed the beautiful writing and rich descriptions of characters and place, the storyline felt very stilted. There were several characters' stories that were not explored thoroughly (or hardly at all), and some whose stories seemed to be explored more than was necessary. And the book's ending was joltingly abrupt. I'm glad I read the book because of the beautiful nature of the writing, but the storyline(s) were just too disjointed.
