A tale of art, beauty, lust, greed, deception and retribution -- set in a refined society ablaze with tulip fever.
In 1630s Amsterdam, tulipomania has seized the populace. Everywhere men are seduced by the fantastic exotic flower. But for wealthy merchant Cornelis Sandvoort, it is his young and beautiful wife, Sophia, who stirs his soul. She is the prize he desires, the woman he hopes will bring him the joy that not even his considerable fortune can buy.
Cornelis yearns for an heir, but so far he and Sophia have failed to produce one. In a bid for immortality, he commissions a portrait of them both by the talented young painter Jan van Loos. But as Van Loos begins to capture Sophia's likeness on canvas, a slow passion begins to burn between the beautiful young wife and the talented artist.
As the portrait unfolds, so a slow dance is begun among the household's inhabitants. Ambitions, desires, and dreams breed a grand deception -- and as the lies multiply, events move toward a thrilling and tragic climax.
In this richly imagined international bestseller, Deborah Moggach has created the rarest of novels -- a lush, lyrical work of fiction that is also compulsively readable. Seldom has a novel so vividly evoked a time, a place, and a passion.

不同人物的角度敘述故事還是比較有意思的,包括人物對God的態度轉變等等。代入戴涵涵看Jan +1,人設還行吧。情節略狗血。
评分我…
评分結尾太倉促瞭,沒有高潮直接草草收筆?個人感覺Deborah的文筆就像流水賬,好感不多。還是喜歡Kate Morton。
评分幾乎每個主要人物之間都有矛盾衝突這點很適閤電影劇本,較細膩的筆觸、按不同視角劃分章節來推進故事也算引人入勝,但結尾部分還是略顯倉促瞭,實際上自Sophia消失之後內容就顯得不夠有力度,不知道電影劇本是否會把小說中模糊處理的結尾進行改寫。
评分迷戴涵涵時知道他要拍這部電影,特意買瞭書來看,很一般!電影齣來也沒興趣看瞭
