Chevalier transports readers to a bygone time and place in this richly imagined portrait of the young woman who inspired on of Vermeer's most celebrated paintings. "Girl with a Pearl Earring" is the story of 16-year-old Griet, whose life is transformed by her brief encounter with genius, even as she herself is immortalized in canvas and oil.
