Period dramas and stories scare me a little. If approached, it is always with caution. I couldn't offer an explanation for this behaviour. Perhaps an unconscious memory lingers and haunts me when as a child mother made me watch "All Creatures Great and Small"!
Tulip Fever has a very good storyline, I did not want to put the book down; desperate to know the ending.The story is pieced together by the author through artwork, all sounds terribly romantic but the story is not. The artwork that inspired Moggach's storyline are shown on two occasion with the book.
As the story lines unfold the characters you originally despised you become to like and vice versa, it emphasises thoughts: how one would respond to such situations, and how does one possibly deceive others to the point of her death.There is a little waffle within some description; perhaps this is needed to aide description, or create greater depth and allow a greater understanding of the situations and people.
There was a verse at the beginning of each chapter, which I didn't quite understand; it only revealed part of the story that was to come
the ending was some what obvious what would happen to the two runaways, none the less, I was still hooked and enthralled by the adventure I shared of deceit and lies. Plus a little saddened when Willem truns a bit pompous! I suppose many can change people.
