Griet, the young dougther of a tilemaker in seventeeth century Holland, obtains her first job, as a servant in Vermeer’s household. Tracy Chevalier shows us through Griet’s eyes, the complicated family, the society of the small town of Delft, and life with an obsessive genius. Griet loves being drawn into his artistic life, and leaving her former drudgery, but the cost to her own survival may be high.Three CD-s, approximately three hours listening, read by Isla Blair.Girl with a Pearl Earring has a wonderful observation of character and scene.
"As histroical fiction, Girl with a Pearl Earring convinces, but as study of human nature, honed by hingsight, it dazzles. Chevalier brings an impressive combination of passion, outrange and perception to a novel which is beautiful and brutal."
