klvincent 's review for:

The Miniaturist by Jessie Burton
5.0

In the golden age of 17th century Amsterdam, a surface of wealth offers no freedom from oppression and secrets can tear down even the richest of houses.

This story stuck with me for a while. It gave off gothic vibes with a house full of secrets. I loved how it painted Amsterdam and it made me want to revisit the shadowy canals and looming merchant houses there. The haunted magical realism in this book is on point!
