  • Girl with a Pearl Earring

  • I thought this was a wonderful story. Tracy Chevalier really brought the character Griet to life for me. I also enjoyed the speculation concerning the "story behind the painting".

  • I wanted to know more. Who really was this girl. I couldn't stop looking at the actual painting.

『我要畫我第一次見到你的樣子，葛里葉，單單只是你。』我逼迫自己望進他的眼睛，覺得自己燃燒了起來，一陣熱從我體內擴散，雖然如此我還是直視著他，我的心臟跳得很快。他在畫我了…… 她是出身貧苦人家的少女，因為前往畫家維梅爾的家中幫傭，而愛上了男主人。擁有極高藝術天份的她，深深影響了維梅爾的創作，甚至成為畫中的模特兒，但卻因為身分地位的懸殊，而空餘一場情恨……
作者雪佛蘭以細膩的筆觸與獨到的觀點，刻劃出畫家和妻子及少女間愛慾糾葛的三角關係，引領讀者進入一個迷人而神秘的畫中世界。無論從文學或藝術的角度來看，都是一本閃耀著珍珠光澤的絕妙傑作！
