Girl with a Pearl Earring is a pale rendition of the life of a simpleton maid in 17th Century Holland. It is a linear slice that offers little insight in the trials and tedium of tending to a struggling artist's household and studio.You will not explore the rich values of class distinction, religious casts, beoming of age, respect or creative genius. While these elements are present, they are reduced to clichés and left to the reader to surmise.Chevalier's syntax and rhythm did not lend itself to the images, fears and angst that she was ushering us through.Chevalier is narrating from a safe and comfortable position, she never managed to transcend her main character.I am baffled that the book enjoyed such a wide following.
