Jessie Burton: Return to the Doll’s House

More than a million readers have awaited the sequel to Jessie Burton’s bestselling debut novel. The House of Fortune revisits the address in Amsterdam where the events of The Miniaturist took place to meet Thea Brandt on her 18th birthday. Determined to enter adulthood on her own terms, Thea finds it difficult to elude the shadows of the past. Discover how the story continues and how Burton created her sumptuous 18th century world.
