by Tracy Chevalier

The story of 16-year-old Dutch girl Griet unfolds as she begins to work as a maid in the house of painter Johannes Vermeer. Her way of seeing things, especially in light and color, catches the attention of Vermeer, and although far apart in social standing and upbringing, the two begin to share a mutual bond. Chevalier provides his own answer to the identity of the model of Vermeer"s famous painting, "Girl With A Pearl Earring," and leads us back into the 17th century to meet a now renowned painter and his maid whose only trace now is a painting.
