Description: Girl With a Pearl Earring by Tracy Chevalier (Author)Wheeler Pub Inc; Large Print edition (Hardcover IN CELL WRAPPED DUST JACKET - CONDITION GOOD EX-LIBRARY BOOK Large Print, COPYRIGHT 2000Language : EnglishHardcover : 283 pages...In seventeenth-century Delft, there is a strict social order -- rich and poor, Catholic and Protestant, master and servant -- and all know their place. Griet becomes a maid in the household of the painter Johannes Vermeer, and she thinks she knows her role: housework, laundry, and the care of his six children. She even feels able to handle his shrewd mother-in-law, his restless sensual wife, and their jealous servant.What no one expects is that Griet's quiet manner, quick perceptions, and fascination with her master's paintings will draw her inexorably into his world. Their growing intimacy sparks whispers; and when Vermeer paints her wearing his wife's pearl earrings, the gossip escalates into a full-blown scandal that irrevocably changes her life.Girl With a Pearl Earring is a beguiling story about artistic vision and sensual depth that eloquently recreates the feeling of the famous painting that inspired it.
