Tulip Fever




From the bestselling author of The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel this is the thrilling book behind the forthcoming film starring Oscar winners Alicia Vikander, Christoph Waltz and Dame Judi Dench

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.
