Coming of Age Fiction Editorial Review

The Miniaturist by Jessie Burton is a novel based on the lives of people in 17th century Amsterdam. Although the book provides meticulous details about life in Holland, the reader gets a feeling of cliché from the characters’ secrets. However, it is a great introduction to the history of miniatures and the status that they had for their affluent owners in earlier centuries. The book has well-executed characters and a fascinating story-line; the characters were varied, and the plot was revealing of the times and prejudices. Despite having some excellent views, the character and plot development were flawed, and the ending was not satisfying. One reader found the book confusing and depressing, with no real resolution. Overall, the book starts slow but develops in unexpected ways, making it a worthy read.
