It just goes to show that publishers are terrible at predicting what will sell, goodness knows what they base their decisions on? JKRowlings and Burton, both best selling novelists but turned down by publishers? How many other gems linger in drawers because some shortsighted publisher said no?

PROFESSOR SIMON SCHAMA HAS PUBLISHED A BOOK "BELONGING ", MANY YEARS AGO. MARVELLOUS STORIES ABOUT THE JEWISH PEOPLE. SO PLEASE CHANGE THE NAME OF YOURS.

I read so many books n the miniaturist I thought it would be kind of like a haunting melody type of story where miniature characters would come alive or something n then reviews were so gud but it was nothing like that..i wasn't being harsh but was disappointed not only is main character shocked with husband being gay she kinda accepts it but then she doesn't do much to save him n then his sister dies..the whole miniature thing turns out to be a clockmakers daughter causing distress to couples..overall it was a confusing disappointing read...😐😞..started off mundane n u kp looking for it to get nitty gritty n exciting but nothing jst nothing!

what a rubbish book!!!
