Items related to Girl in Hyacinth Blue
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.

Subtle and atmospheric...an impressive debut. (Publishers Weekly)

Wonderful...Extraordinarily skilled...deft, perceptive, full of learning, deeply moving (Kirkus Reviews)
Intelligent, searching and unusual, the novel is filled with luminous moments; like the painting it describes so well, it has a way of lingering in the reader's mind (Katy Emck, New York Times Review of Books)
