The Muse by Jessie Burton is her follow up novel to The Miniaturist. The novel focuses on two women, one a painter living in Spain in 1936, the other a Caribbean immigrant living in London in 1967 working at an art gallery. One mysterious painting links their lives together and it is an ongoing mystery throughout the novel to try to figure out exactly how.
Beautifully written, full of gorgeous details and woven together in a way only Burton seems able to do; I couldn't put it down. A great read.
