Tulip Fever

I picked this up at the Armidale rotary book fair and it was in the Science section. I thought it was to do with the tulip bubble in amsterdam. 

It turns out to be historical fiction and i am not dismissing it out of hand. It was a real page turner  and certainly referenced the tulip mania and set you in sixteenth century Netherlands.

It has a chapter per character and they were engaging enough to keep me reading. The last few chapters I devoured.  Historical fiction may appear more on my bookshelf.
