The Brandt family faces ruin; 18 year old Thea’s aunt Nella is convinced the only solution is to find Thea a wealthy husband among Amsterdam’s elite. The House of Fortune follows Nella and Thea as they clash over the demands of duty and the heart, old secrets overwhelming them along the way.

Returning Book Club author Jessie Burton joins Richard and Judy to explain why it took her so long to write this, the sequel to bestseller The Miniaturist, including why she had found the idea of touching the character of Nella again so emotional.

They also discuss the Amsterdam of Jessie’s books – an embellished impression of the real city – as well as exploring increasing modern acknowledgement of the Dutch empire and slave trade. Plus, does having your book made into TV show financially set you up for life? Jessie gives an honest answer.
