Chevalier brings the real artist Vermeer and a fictional muse to life in a jewel of a novel. (TIME)• Eight Pages of Full-Color Plates Include Every Vermeer Painting Discussed in the Book • French Flaps • Rough Front • Larger Trim Size • Premium Stock • With a New Foreword Celebrate Tracy Chevalier’s modern classic Girl With A Pearl Earring, featuring a gorgeous new edition illustrated with eight pages of Vermeer’s masterworks. History and fiction merge seamlessly in this luminous novel about artistic vision and sensual awakening. The story of Griet, whose life is transformed by her brief encounter with a genius as she herself is immortalized in canvas and oil, is new again. A vibrant, sumptuous novel... triumphant... a beautifully written tale that mirrors the elegance of the painting that inspired it. (The Wall Street Journal) Chevalier has so vividly imagined the life of the painter and his subject. (Milwaukee Journal Sentinel) [Chevalier] creates a world reminiscent of a Vermeer interior: suspended in a particular moment, it transcends its time and place. (The New Yorker) Marvelously evocative. (The New York Times) Lustrous. (Entertainment Weekly) |
