A sensual tale of art, lust, and deception--now a major motion picture In 1630s Amsterdam, tulipomania has seized the populace. Everywhere men are seduced by the fantastic exotic flower. But for wealthy merchant Cornelis Sandvoort, it is his young and beautiful wife, Sophia, who stirs his soul. She is the prize he desires, the woman he hopes will bring him the joy that not even his considerable fortune can buy. Cornelis yearns for an heir, but so far he and Sophia have failed to produce one. In a bid for immortality, he commissions a portrait of them both by the talented young painter Jan van Loos. But as Van Loos begins to capture Sophia's likeness on canvas, a slow passion begins to burn between the beautiful young wife and the talented artist. As the portrait unfolds, so a slow dance is begun among the household's inhabitants. Ambitions, desires, and dreams breed a grand deception--and as the lies multiply, events move toward a thrilling and tragic climax. In this richly imagined international bestseller, Deborah Moggach has created the rarest of novels--a lush, lyrical work of fiction that is also compulsively readable. Seldom has a novel so vividly evoked a time, a place, and a passion. Praise for Tulip Fever"Sumptuous prose . . . reads like a thriller."--The New York Times Book Review "An artful novel in every sense of the word . . . deftly evokes seventeenth-century Amsterdam's vibrant atmosphere."--Los Angeles Times "Need a brief escape into a beautiful and faraway world? Deborah Moggach's wonderful Tulip Fever can offer you that."--New York Post "Taut with suspense and unexpected revelations."--Entertainment Weekly "Elegantly absorbing."--The Philadelphia Inquirer

Valuable and accessible information made easy by the authors style
Format: Kindle
The authors offer two books in one, in estate planning and living trusts, which mutually reenforce each other. They also offer education in these intimidating areas in a clear almost outline form so the reader can easily identify topics for each paragraph and determine what to focus on. At a higher level, one of the many quotes stands out as a theme for this book “Education is the premise of progress, in every society, in every family.” This book educates, not only for the reader but for the reader’s protection of his or her family and protecting the assets built for that family. The advice goes beyond the actual instruments, legal, business and tax guidance to recommending strategies to work with the professionals required. From the subject to inspiration to undertake these instruments, this is an excellent source of information.
