Since I consider "Girl with the Pearl Earring" one of the best books I've every read, it would be hard for Chevalier to do as well and nearly impossible for her to do better. That being said, this is an engaging book, with an interesting premise. One might have an interesting time comparing and contrasting it to Ibsen's "A Doll's House", set in roughly the same period, though in a different country. The characters are interesting enough and her writing is always excellent, but I just couldn't help comparing it the "..Girl.." and finding it lacking.
