Helpful Score: 2

This book was a gift from a friend and not the type of novel I usually read. After putting it aside for several months, I pick it up to read and was enchanted. The story which is set in 1664, revolves around the Dutch painter Vermeer and his fictional muse. The writing is exceptional and the story is fascinating. The blend of history, art and storytelling produces an outstanding work of fiction that could convincingly pass as a biography instead.
