Query: Rich Story

This historical novel smoothly weaves fact and fiction into a fascinating tale about 17th-century Delft, Jan Vermeer and a young woman's coming of age. It's a rich story that should be read slowly and savored, and at that, it ends too soon.Midway through, I went to the library and checked out a Time-Life book about Vermeer in order to have copies of his paintings beside me as I read about them in The Girl With a Pearl Earring. It doubled my reading pleasure.
