Seventeenth-century Amsterdam is a city in the grip of tulip mania, basking in the wealth it has generated.

Sophia’s husband Cornelis, an ageing merchant, is among those grown rich from this exotic new flower. To celebrate, he commissions a talented young artist to paint him with his young bride. But as the portrait grows, so does the passion between Sophia and the painter; and as ambitions, desires and dreams breed an intricate deception, their reckless gamble propels their lives towards a thrilling and tragic conclusion.

felt like I was listening to a story that was only half complete. the characters were hardly developed, and I didn't find myself rooting for any of them. I felt very apathetic about what was going to happen to the characters. but the narration was great.

At first it is a bit hard to get used to the voice(s) of the narrator, but she does a very good job overall (specially performing drunk songs!). The story isn’t great but it is enough to catch your curiosity; the book starts in a slow pace (the strategy of having small chapters, told according to individual characters’ perspectives, seems odd - it takes a while to get used to it) but picks up momentum towards the middle. The story has a few turns and climaxes that get you hooked. Nothing exceptional, but it has been a nice entertainment.

A good story

Overall this was a captivating and easy listen. The story was interesting and easy to follow even though it switched between several characters. The ending did seem very rushed compared to the rest of the dtory, but it was still a good read.

This book was unpredictable in many ways which made it fun to listen to. The reader was excellent as she navigated between half a dozen characters. I listened on a trip to Amsterdam and it was perfect for the history and the setting the time of The Golden Age in Holland.

Very interesting book
