“It‘s easy to recognize the surface of beauty. To see it with your two eyes. But the challenge to the artist is conveying the many layers underneath.”

I know a lot of people loved this book but I just couldn‘t with this book. I made it about halfway before I bailed but it is a #BkBasedOnPainting 🖼️ 😬

Tamra Not a fan of this one either. 😏 2y
Eggs It‘s just not for everyone 🤷‍♀️ 2y
ImperfectCJ I had to listen to the audiobook on 2x and read analysis that helped me catch some of the nuances (things I thought were silly errors, which I couldn't quite square with what I know about the author's style). I ended up appreciating the book, but I can't say I enjoyed it. 2y

Girl with a Pearl Earring | Tracy Chevalier

Pickpick

At left, Scarlet Johansson in the film. Tracy Chevalier wrote a fictional account of how the famous painting came to be. Set in Delft, Holland in the 17th Century, it tells the story of sixteen year old Griet, who goes to work as a maid in the service of painter, Johannes Vermeer, and his family.

"This is a girl who has lived through broken dreams and promises. Stil lives. Will always
live on that hillside, at the center of a world that unfolds all the way to the edges of the #canvas . . . What she wants most-what she truly yearns for-is what any of us want: to be seen. And look. She is."
