Girl with a Pearl Earring by Tracy Chevalier
Book Title: Girl with a Pearl Earring
Author: Tracy Chevalier
Genre: Historical Fiction
My Grade: B-
# of Pages: 240
Summary: History and fiction merge seamlessly in Tracy Chevalier's luminous novel about artistic vision and sensual awakening. Through the eyes of sixteen-year-old Grier, the world of 1660s Holland comes dazzingly alive in this richly imagined portrait of the young woman who inspired one of Vermeer's most celebrated paintings.
My Thoughts: This is going to be one of my shortest reviews yet because there's not much in the book to reflect on...
It was a good and entertaining read due to being well-written. You cannot deny the fact that Chevalier is a decent writer in terms of language. But in terms of fleshing out story and character she still has some work to do.
So that's my review, similar to the book in the fact that it's good, short and nothing remarkable.
