Search - Girl with a Pearl Earring

Historical fiction, tells the story behind the Jan Vermeer painting of the same name.

What a great book, with a realistic ending. Brings you back to a time you've never been in, with a clear view.

Very sweet story that took me by surprise in a few places. The author did a great job of creating a credible voice for the girl, and keeping it consistent throughout the story. The reflection of Vermeer's life was very much on-track with what is known about the artist, and while this, of course, was fiction it would be easy to believe that this was in fact a true story. As a reader, i really liked this girl. A really lovely read.

I read this book on an airplane coming home from California with my husband. Since it was a book that I bought at the airport I did not expect much from it but I was happily surprised. I loved the drama and the mystery of this book. It was a really good story, much better than other books I have purchased in a rush at the airport.

Girl with a Peal Earring is a wonderful fiction about one of Vermeer's Paintings. It really makes you think about the era in which the painting was created. Vermeer was somewhat of a escentric as are most artist. The book also became a movie in which was very close to the book. The ending in the movie was just a little different. I would recommend for anyone who loves historical fiction.
