Summary
Girl in Hyacinth Blue: A Vermeer’s Tale
Girl in Hyacinth Blue tells the story of an imaginary painting by Vermeer and the aspirations and longings of those whose lives it illuminates and darkens. From a proud father regretting his lost love to a compromised French noblewoman, from a hanged girl to Vermeer’s own gifted daughter, Susan Vreeland’s beautiful and luminous tales link to form an evocative jewel.
