The Miniaturist: A Novel Free Audiobook Download by Jessie Burton

The Miniaturist is the story of Nella Oortman, the daughter of a wealthy Dutch merchant living in 17th-century Amsterdam. She is destined to be a miniature painter like her father. Her father provides her with all the materials she needs, but he urges her to make more than just paintings as he's afraid that his wealth and influence may not last forever. Nella begins painting miniatures of people in secret and takes them around as her own rendition of how they would have looked if they had been painted larger. One day, while looking around at some old paintings in the attic, she notices an image of herself from several years prior. She makes the decision to alter it to make it look less like herself and post it online on a new blog called "The Miniaturist."
