Description
In 1705 Amsterdam, a young woman named Thea Brandt is coming of age, grappling with family secrets and her own identity. As she tries to navigate her place in society, she finds solace in the theater and an artistic life. However, with her family in financial decline, pressure mounts for her to marry well. A secret romance with a set-painter at her favorite theater offers a temporary escape, but it's complicated by a family secret that has been kept hidden for years. Thea's family is desperate to save their home, and her aunt, Nella, believes the key to their salvation lies in finding her a suitable husband. An unexpected invitation to Amsterdam's most exclusive ball seems like a golden opportunity, but a mysterious miniature figure arrives at Thea's doorstep, threatening to upend her plans. As Thea navigates the complexities of her family's past and her own desires, she must confront the possibility that her future may not depend on a man. This sweeping historical novel is a tale of love, obsession, family, and loyalty, with a magical storyline that will keep you turning the pages.
