For Fans Of: historical fiction, Dutch history, art, art history
My Overall Rating: B+

Pithy Comments: I found this book very enjoyable. I love art history, so I loved that aspect of it. As with many historical fiction novels (except with Distant Waves) I always want to know more as to what is fictional and what isn't. I was especially curious because I love the art part of this book. The only thing that I didn't like was that there wasn't much info on what happened near the end. I wish that Chevalier had included more about what happens later on. I enjoyed this look at the Dutch culture and how thing's worked.

The Big Picture: A good read, maybe a little more detail.
