The mirrored moments are stilled, suspended in aspic. Taking the tantalising psychological obscurity of these genre paintings as her inspiration, Moggach constructs a possible inner life for the men and women who populate them: the solitary young woman reading by the window the artist labouring in his studio the maidservant sharing a coy grin with the viewer while her master and mistress sit at dinner in the room beyond. Heda, among others, with a Rembrandt thrown in for good measure as well. This is no accident: my edition comes with sixteen colour plates of paintings by Pieter de Hooch, Vermeer, Nicolaes Maes and Pieter Claesz. Moggach has a painterly sensitivity to surroundings and settings, and her scenes are crowded with the ephemera of Golden Age still lives or interior scenes, often calling particular paintings to mind. In short, it reads like the literary equivalent of the National Gallery’s Vermeer show. Moggach’s novel of love, art and betrayal is set in the Dutch Golden Age, at a time of millwheel ruffs and dark clothing, merry companies in taverns, and maids in linen caps sweeping the steps of canalside houses. How I wish I’d known about this book when I went to Amsterdam! I always enjoy taking appropriate reading material on my travels and this would have been absolutely perfect. ![]() ![]() And Dorie has just been shockingly betrayed by the man she loved and trusted the most.
