|summary=This novel is an imaginative, impressive, skilful début. Burton is a powerful and sensitive writer. Each character lives through her pages and lingers in the reader's mind after the close. She spins her words like sugar, revelling in the craft of storytelling. Realistic historical detail is effortlessly mixed with fictional artistry as the reader’s senses are bombarded with the sweetness and sourness of the private and public Seventeenth Century lives of affluent, hypocritical, obsessive and insecure Amsterdammers celebrating a ‘Golden Age’ but caught between Guilders and God, desire and morality.
