An enjoyable story of love and the extent that people will go to for love. The main story is about a young woman who married an old wealthy man out of necessity, who falls in love with the painter commissioned to paint her and her husband, and her attempt to have what she desires. The actually Tulip mania doesn't come into play until the later half of the book. The story, like the Tulip Fever, emphasizes people acting/reacting to wants instead of reality.
