I found the book to be good when I began it, entertaining, telling a good story for sure. I had read Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister, and The Girl with the Pearl earring, so I knew I liked these Dutch tales of the 1600's. But near the end this book took hold deep and didn't let go until the very last page. The characters and their secrets, risks, scandals, and betrayals could have easily been set in present time had the scenery been swapped. The concept of vice is not a present day invention for sure. Amazing, and unexpected close. I hope you enjoy the ride!
