Editorial: HarperCollins Publishers Ltd

Obra adaptada: NO

Reseña: Girl with a Pearl Earring is a 1990 beautiful novel written by Tracy Chevalier. It takes place in Delft, Holland and was inspired in its essence by Vermeer’s painting ‘Girl with a Pearl Earring’, which is the photo on the cover of the book.
It recreates with elegant style the cincumstances under which the painting was created. It was adapted into a 2003 film with the same name. I recommend you the film, in my opinion is excellent.
If you want, the novel will touch your soul and you will have a magical experience. I should say that is not only a novel. There is so much mystery in each word that you have to discover.
I was really grateful for discovering this painter with the book because finally you discover that painting suggests so many stories and most of them have not been told yet.

Valoración: 4/5
