About this listen
There is nothing hidden that will not be revealed...
On an autumn day in 1686, eighteen-year-old Nella Oortman knocks at the door of a grand house in the wealthiest quarter of Amsterdam. She has come from the country to begin a new life as the wife of illustrious merchant trader Johannes Brandt, but instead she is met by his sharp-tongued sister, Marin. Only later does Johannes appear and present her with an extraordinary wedding gift: a cabinet-sized replica of their home. It is to be furnished by an elusive miniaturist, whose tiny creations mirror their real-life counterparts in unexpected ways. Nella is at first mystified by the closed world of the Brandt household, but as she uncovers its secrets she realizes the escalating dangers that await them all. Does the miniaturist hold their fate in her hands? And will she be the key to their salvation or the architect of their downfall?
Beautiful, intoxicating and filled with heart-pounding suspense, The Miniaturist is a magnificent story of love and obsession, betrayal and retribution, appearance and truth.

Immersion in a Complete World
The inner world of a young bride was very believable, as she tests her power and negotiates her new life. Fascinating historical recreation, though Johannes’ lack of shame was rather incredible; shame would have been virtually impossible to escape from in that environment. Loved the story and the characters.

Great story and interesting characters
I'm only half way through and I am enjoying this so much, I can't wait to find out how it ends but I also don't want it to come to an end because I'm enjoying it so much.

Fine narration by this author
This story is dark. I did wonder several times whether to finish it but the central character is very likeable and her world is recreated powerfully and stylishly. The author reads as well as she writes.
