Girl with a Pearl Earring
2 journalers for this copy...
I bought this at a charity shop in England while I was there in September.
A wonderful read about Dutch life in the 17th century. A young girl has to take a job as a maid in the painter Vermeer's household, in order to support her parents after her father loses his sight. Well researched and well written.
Accepted by cats-eye on the "Very Wanted Books" relay. Tomorrow morning it will be heading back to England, having had a little holiday in France and Canada!
