Synopsis

Seventeenth-century Amsterdam - a city in the grip of tulip fever. Sophia's husband Cornelis is one of the lucky ones grown rich from this exotic new flower. To celebrate, he commissions a talented young artist to paint him with his beautiful young bride. But as the portrait grows, so does the passion between Sophia and the painter; and ambitions, desires and dreams breed an intricate deception and a reckless gamble.

A tale of passion, obsession and deception, Deborah Moggach's Tulip Fever is undoubtedly a technically accomplished novel by an experienced author... Aesthetically pleasing in style, showered with metaphors and symbolic language. -- Beatrice Scudeler * Palatinate *
A scintillating story of lust, deception and retribution * Independent on Sunday *
A story of love, deceit, changelings, and mistaken identity worthy of a Restoration dramatist * Daily Mail *
A sumptuous and enthralling novel about art, love, illusion and money...with the denouement of a classic * The Times *
A byzantine plot that hurtles towards disaster, while retaining the polished veneer of a Dutch interior * Harpers & Queen *
