About the book

Synopsis

From the bestselling author of The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel

Seventeenth-century Amsterdam – a city in the grip of tulip fever.

Sophia’s husband Cornelis is one of the lucky ones grown rich from this exotic new flower.

To celebrate, he commissions a talented young artist to paint him with his beautiful young bride.

But as the portrait grows, so does the passion between Sophia and the painter; and ambitions, desires and dreams breed an intricate deception and a reckless gamble.

What the critics say

A scintillating story of lust, deception and retribution
- Independent on Sunday

A story of love, deceit, changelings, and mistaken identity worthy of a Restoration dramatist
- Daily Mail

A byzantine plot that hurtles towards disaster, while retaining the polished veneer of a Dutch interior
- Harpers & Queen

Sensuous and masterly...a gorgeous novel
- Mail on Sunday

Clever, spry and sad in equal measure...a pacy plot whose twists and shifts of viewpoint make for much anxious page-turning
- Daily Telegraph

Beautifully written...with a featherlight touch, Moggach keeps the tension at fever-pitch until the final hilarious – and entirely unexpected – climax
- Independent on Sunday
