Tracy Chevalier


The first book I read by Tracy Chevalier was Girl With a Pearl Earring.  I loved it and was worried when I heard that they were making it into a film.  I needn't have been concerned because the finished film was perfect.  Every shot was like a Vermeer painting.  It remains my favourite of her books, with The Virgin Blue coming a close second.  That one interweaves the story of a girl from the 16th century with that of one of her descendants in the present day.
