You see, remembering’s a blessing and a curse. You can’t erase your bad memories, but a life without regrets is a life unlived.

Title: The Miniaturist

Author: Jessie Burton

Pages: 448

"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?"

Another book I've picked up because of my book club. I remember that I gave it a 6/10.

The Miniaturist (not only the title, but also a character in the book) tells an interesting story, but I feel like there's more potential to it than used. Because for being the one giving the book its title, they don't show up too often. Be as it is, I remember that I liked the other three characters (Nella, Johannes, and Marin) well enough. I did guess their secret, though.

There's a sequel called "The House of Fortune" and also a show about "The Miniaturist" although I've neither read the second part nor seen the show.

3 of the quotes I've written down:

"Starling, she thinks, if you believe that building is the safer spot, then I am not the one to set you free."

"'I wish that knife had found your heart.' 'I hide it well.'"

"Sometimes it's hard to love a person you know too well."

“Dangling from the ceiling is the shed skin of a huge snake, draped like a pennant, papery to touch. Plumes of all patterns and shapes, once attached to the most exotic of birds, brush against her outstretched fingers. [...] A butterfly, wider than her palm, is pinned to the wall, the sky blue of its wings overwritten with swirls of black. The room is full of smells. The strongest is of nutmeg, but there is also a sandalwood tang, and clove and pepper imbuing the very walls, such scents of heat and warning.”

— Jessie Burton, The Miniaturist

J’avais écrit un post hier sur ce livre tip top, mais il a disparu suite à un bug.

J’ai actuellement une grosse flemmasse de tout recommencer alors je résume : c’est très très bien, deux destins de femmes atypiques, un mystérieux tableau, Londres en 67, l’Andalousie pré Franco.

Lisons Jessie Burton, elle est douée pour raconter des histoires habiles qui mêlent art et psychologie.
