«Girl With a Pearl Earring» is the historical novel by Tracy Chevalier, published by HarperCollins in paperback (256 pages, in English).
In seventeenth-century Delft, Griet enters service in the house of the painter Johannes Vermeer. Her attentive gaze makes her an assistant and, later, the model for the portrait that gives the novel its title. The plot blends the creation of the painting, domestic tension and the price of innocence in a story about art and survival.
It was Tracy Chevalier's second novel. Inspired by the eponymous painting by Johannes Vermeer, it won the ALA Alex Award and was adapted into a movie.
Intended for readers of historical fiction and book clubs, and for those seeking literary fiction about the lives of artists.
Tracy Rose Chevalier is an American-British novelist. She is best known for her second novel, Girl with a Pearl Earring, which was adapted as a 2003 film starring Scarlett Johansson and Colin Firth.
