(a very bloody good novel might I add!)

Set in Amsterdam in 1686, The Miniaturist follows the story of 18-year-old Nella Oortman (Anya Taylor-Joy) in Amsterdam.

She is excited for a new life as the wife of merchant, Johannes Brandt, but instead finds herself in a world of betrayal, fear and mystery when she moves into his grand mansion.

Gifted a dollhouse replica of their house, Nella starts to notice a mysterious connection between the miniature figures who inhabit the dollhouse and their real-life counterparts.

Nella soon discovers why her husband is avoiding her and the many secrets of the household - and that the dollhouse may hold the key to more.
