The Miniaturist by Jessie Burton
Set in 17th-century Amsterdam, the story follows young Nella Oortman, who arrives at her new husband's home to find a world filled with secrets and intrigue. Her husband, Johannes Brandt, is distant and preoccupied, leaving Nella to navigate the household under the watchful eye of his stern sister, Marin. As a wedding gift, Johannes presents Nella with a miniature replica of their home, which she populates with exquisite miniatures from a mysterious and elusive artist. These tiny creations begin to mirror and predict the family's unfolding dramas, revealing hidden truths and unraveling the fabric of their lives in unexpected ways.
