I just recently read Girl with a Pearl Earring by Tracy Chevalier. I loved this story, did anyone else like it?
My favorite character was Pieter the Son.

Never read it, but my mom's friend's friend is the author.

I've read it several times Very good book, although there were some severely messed up characters. Not as in un-well-developed by the author, but just in their choices and actions and stuff. Still a good read, and I liked how it developed just around the painting.

I agree, it was a really good book. I recently finished reading it also. My favorite character was Griet.....I didn't like Pieter the Son, because I kind of thought he manipulated Griet in bad ways sometimes. It was weird how all of a sudden Griet felt this kind of freedom when 'he' saw her hair down and then she..........okay ya'll know what happened. It was a good book overall though I would definantly read it again.

Yes I have read it! I like it very much! Think I got it recommended by a friend.
Elwaven, that's really cool! Your mum's friend's friend... wow.
But I don't quite understand Griet. I can't always follow the way her mind goes. Can't someone make me a kind of character sketch?

Oh really? I thought it was a movie. It's a book? Hmmm, then maybe I should read it. Does anyone recommend it? It sounds interesting. Must be a girl with a pearl earring right?
Oh I'm so smart!!!
Well, I'll think about borrowing it at the library tomorrow.

I've read it and I thought it was quite good, just a bit slow - or maybe that was the film I've seen that too.
Anyway I didn't like it nearly as much as the other one I read by her: Falling Angels

I liked Girl with a Pearl Earring as a book, but thought that Colin Firth was the only good thing about the movie
I liked this other book by Tracy Chevalier too *tries to think of what it's called, fails*

^^maybe the Lady and the Unicorn?
I must buy the film! just been released here! I know, Denmark is a stupid country. They waited over one year to show it in the cinemas here and another 100 years to release it on dvd.
