In this episode we cover the novel The Miniaturist written by Jessie Burton. What we thought was going to be a bit of fantasy turned out to be a huge dose of reality. It was still a good read. For our dive this week we talk about the real life Petronella Brandt and how the VOC spent decades gaslighting the people of Indonesia.
