katieb94 's review for:
The Miniaturist
by Jessie Burton
I actually really enjoyed this book, from the historical setting to the mystery of the miniature figures that end up representing poor Nella’s life.
It would be enough to scare anyone, especially when you’re in an arranged marriage in a place you don’t know, in a house you don’t know, surrounded by strangers.
This book was hyped up when it was first published and I can see why, I was able to fly through this book as I wanted to keep reading.
There are plenty of plot twists to add scandal to the story. I really didn’t see them coming, but the one that happened with Marin, the sister, was heartbreaking. For a women so sharp, it was surprising to see her soften.
The scandal surrounding Johannes, Nella’s husband, was a shock. I didn’t see it coming and I felt so sorry for Nella when the truth case out.
It’s a really well thought out story, it fits the time period, and I really enjoyed reading it and following the characters as their lives unfolded.
