Book Review: A Romantic's Delight
Summary: 5 Stars
Girl with a Pearl Earring by Tracy Chevalier is an amazing book that brings the story behind the Vermeer painting to life. This book brings you back to the1660's Delft into to the life of Griet, a 16 year old, protestant, Dutch girl. While reading this book you feel Griet's excitement, fear, and love. Girl with a Pearl Earring is exciting and romantic.
Young Griet is forced to work as a maid in a place very strange to her to help support her family. She is sent to work for Johannes Vermeer, a famous painter, on his large estate filled with his 5 unruly children, cruel jealous wife, Catharine, and strict pampered mother, Maria Thins. Griet immediately has her hands full with all the house hold chores when she catches the eye of her master, Vermeer. In order to keep her job, Griet must keep her priorities straight and mind focused. Griet must keep here place in this strange place where she is not accepted and can get in trouble anywhere she turns.
Girl with a Pearl Earring is a book that you will pick up and never want to put down. It's an easy read full of love and adventure. For any readers out there that eat up any character romance they can find, this is a book for you. Readers that can also grow attached to any characters will feel the pain and emotions of this book.
I really love this book and as a young romantic, this book really kept me reading. When I reached the end of the book I was entirely disappointed only because it ended. I applaud Tracy Chevalier for presenting this wonderful, touching book that brings all the characters to life. Romantics of all ages will really find this book irresistible and enjoyable.
