Girl with a Pearl Earring
I was wondering if anyone's read this book by Tracy Chevalier about a maid in 17th century Holland to the painted Johannes Vermeer. It's also been made into a film starring Scarlet Johansson, which I haven't seen yet.
I think the book is fairly good, though a bit of a letdown after all the raving reviews I'd heard about it. |

 Sorry tho, I haven't seen or read it. I'll pick up the book at the library next time I drop by.

I read the book before all the movie hype. I enjoyed it, but then it was a few years ago and so I was a few years younger. Did the movie stick at all close to the book? One always wonders . . .
