The Miniaturist by Jessie Burton (2014/400 pages).  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 metby his sharp-tongued sister, Marin. Only later does Johannes appear and present her withan extraordinary wedding gift: a cabinet-sized replica of their home. It is to be furnished byan elusive miniaturist, whose tiny creations mirror their real-life counterparts in unexpected ways.  Presented by Floria Conta
