Query: Girl with the Pearl Earring

Go back to a time when the classic painters were honing their talents, and you find yourself immersed in this beautiful novel that is a sort-of biography of Vermeer. After reading this book, I felt I knew all his secrets for producing his beautiful paintings filled with light. The story is seen in the eyes of a young servant girl who later becomes the subject of the title painting. Her feelings as a girl maturing into a young woman are heart wrenching. Well worth reading!
