A quiet little gem of a book, this is historical fiction at its best. The behind-the-scenes look into the life of a maid in a fine house is written in detail, right down to the petty scheming to get ahead in the eyes of the mistresses of the house. Small-town life and family issues are brought in to the story enough to round it out, but the developing relationship between Griet and Vermeer is the main theme. I like books that are subtle and take their time, and give you a good payoff in the end. This is one of those.
