Book Review of Girl in Hyacinth Blue

Girl in Hyacinth Blue
Modaba avatar reviewed on + 75 more book reviews


This was a quick enjoyable read. Told in vignettes, the story traces the life and travels of a painting...a lost Vermeer. This story slightly reminded me of "Girl With a Pearl Earring", by Tracey Chevalier, but it is not really the exact same story. This is a nice book to read on a weekend. I found my copy left behind in the home we have recently moved in. Most of the books that I found that the previous owner of my home had left for us were not the quality or type of literature that I usually choose to read, but this was a nice find! If you like art or art history, I think you will enjoy this book.
