The Miniaturist

The Miniaturist was an impulse purchase (with free bonus points) and I liked it well enough despite it being not that special. It is one of those moody, politically correct novels only this time it is all in 17th century Amsterdam. What inspired the novel is a doll house with miniatures in Rijksmuseum (I have been that but that doll house didn't grab my attention).

Anyway I was not bored but neither was particularly captivated. There are many period details from clothes, to food, to cleaning supplies etc. I will recommend this in the end but not with much enthusiasm.
