Virgin Blue
Virgin Blue | Tracy Chevalier
12 posts | 44 read | 10 to read
Meet Ella Turner and Isabelle du Moulin two women born centuries apart, yet bound by a fateful family legacy. When Ella and her husband move to a small town in France, Ella hopes to brush up on her French, qualify to practice as a midwife, and start a family of her own. Village life turns out to be less idyllic than she expected, however, and a peculiar dream of the color blue propels her on a quest to uncover her family s French ancestry. As the novel unfolds alternating between Ella s story and that of Isabelle du Moulin four hundred years earlier a common thread emerges that unexpectedly links the two women. Part detective story, part historical fiction, The Virgin Blue is a novel of passion and intrigue that compels readers to the very last page."

There hasn‘t been a Tracy Chevalier book I haven‘t enjoyed so far. I loved all the unsaid parts of this story of two lives intertwining.
Just one book to go for a #bookspinbingo and it‘s only 150 pages so I‘m hopeful!

TheAromaofBooks Yay!!! Great work!!! 4y

I‘m used to a little more history & a little less chick lit in my Tracy Chevalier books. The Virgin Blue was ok.
Taken with Tobias and The Angel by Nicolas Tournier.

This book is hauntingly good. It broke my heart. Chevalier is truly a gifted writer. I thought Girl with a Pearl Earring was amazing and this is that and more.

I thought of this book for #allthesingleladies though I found it a so-so story rather than a pick. Love the cover though.

Although written before The Girl With a Pearl Earring, I read it after and found it to be the much superior book! Mystery and art connect two women through time. One of my top picks, ever. It grabs you and you hang on...Well done, Tracy Chevalier!!!

Before penning her bestselling novel Girl with a Pearl Earring, Tracy Chevalier wrote The Virgin Blue, the mesmerizing story of two women living in France 400 years apart. Let me just say that I loved, loved, LOVED this novel! I couldn't bear to put it down and so I read it practically straight through in a matter of hours.
