Rembrandt's Mirror by Kim Devereux
A stunningly imagined debut novel about the turbulent world of the master painter Rembrandt and the three women who shaped his life, seen through the eyes of his last great love and muse - a lowly housemaid.
This commendable debut does for Rembrandt what Girl With A Pearl Earring did for Vermeer* Mail on Sunday *
Laced with painterly description and art theory ... a powerful and compelling story. * Sunday Telegraph *
The relationship between the painter and the young servant develops into a moving affirmation of the importance of love in the face of the mortality that Rembrandt reflects in his art. * Sunday Times *
An impressively detailed and emotional read. * Daily Mail *
Rembrandt's Mirror provides a powerful portrait of a genius * BBC History Magazine *
Characters are fully drawn and empathetic and Devereux uses words like watercolours - her descriptions are vital and give the book an authenticity that transports the reader back to the 1600s. * Buzz Magazine *
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. * Saga Magazine *
