This book gives Johannes Vermeer's painting; Girl with a Pearl earring a whole new life. Tracy Chevalier takes you right back to 1664 to tell you the story of the woman who everyone knows as the Girl with a pearl earring. With every page the character started to build up in my mind. The way she moves, talks, and behaves. I will never look at this painting the same way. You really get a sense of the time. The book is set in the painters hometown of Delft. You start to feel as though you are really there, on the bustling streets and even in the painters studio. I couldn't put this book down. From the first page till the last, I was hooked. Tracy Chevalier has one hundred percent given a new life to the already breath taking painting. If you like old paintings, a classic feel, and 17th century then this is the read for you.
