Jessie Burton meets Polish audience for the first time. Bestselling author of a million-copies hit “The Minaturist” translated into 30 languages, continues her fascinating story of a wealthy merchant family living in XVIII century Amsterdam.
We discuss the phenomenon of historical novels, the Golden Age in The Netherlands and the power of multi-layered fiction in times of superficiality.
