Negative Positive
Title: a very good read.
Review: I read this book very quickly, and really enjoyed it. It's about tulip speculation in the 18th century, which is like stock market speculation today. It's about a very young woman married to an older merchant who adores her. He commissions an artist to paint their portrait, and she immediately falls in love with the artist. There are a few side plots going on, with the maid and her lover, and with the servant of the artist. There are tangles of things going on, and a real surprise close to the end. I really enjoyed this book.
