Girl with a Pearl Earring by Tracy Chevalier
4 stars
Griet is a 16 year old girl that never thought she would become a maid. That is until her father's accident that causes him to loose his trade. She starts working for the painter Vermeer and his family in their home in Delft, Netherlands. She does what she's told on a daily basis and doesn't do wrong to the family, that is until she is asked to sit and be painted for a customer that loves her wide eyes.

I thoroughly enjoyed this story. I liked how it was written as well as the characters themselves. I was honestly waiting for romance to happen between Vermeer and Griet but was surprised when nothing physical happened. I was a little surprised by Pieter and Griets relationship but overall I'm glad that she made him her decision in the end. I liked that she didn't move away from the city because of what happened but just changed her life and is happy in the end.
