Reviews for Rembrandt´s Mirror: a novel of the famous Dutch painter of `The Night Watch´ and the women who loved him
If you liked Tracy Chevalier's Girl with a Pearl Earring, I don't see how you can help liking this delightful novel about the Rembrandt household; fiction is a lovely way to imbibe the history of great art... A brilliant portrait of Rembrandt, and his women.
