«Girl with a Pearl Earring» is the historical novel by Tracy Chevalier, published by HarperCollins in paperback (308 pages, in English).
In seventeenth-century Delft, Griet, the daughter of a tile maker, enters service in the house of the painter Johannes Vermeer. Her sensitivity to light and color draws her close to the artist's studio, but that bond arouses jealousy and tensions that put her place in the household at risk.
This edition is linked to the movie adaptation; it was published in December 2003 and the original novel appeared in 1999.
It is intended for readers of historical fiction and for those interested in Vermeer's painting and seventeenth-century Dutch art.
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.
