Not because her novel Girl With a Pearl Earring has sold one million copies and is still making the bestseller lists. Not because she has just released her new novel Falling Angels . She feels lucky because she lives in the modern era. "I'm incredibly thankful to be born when I was," says the author. "It's only relatively recently women have more choice. I have opportunities even my mother didn't have." Chevalier's novels show just how far women have come. The author set Girl With a Pearl Earring in 17th century Holland and gave her narrator, Griet, a true artist's passion and eye. Born to a lower class family, the best Griet can do is work as a housemaid to the artist Vermeer. The new book, Falling Angels , takes place in Edwardian London and tells the story of Kitty Coleman, a young wife and mother. Chafing against her role as matron, Kitty thwarts convention and her family's wishes by becoming a suffragette. "Since I write about women in the past, they're invariably going to be circumscribed by circumstance," says Chevalier, speaking from her home in North London. "There's going to be a conflict with them wanting to have a life different from what they have."

    Extractions: by Tracy Chevalier INTRODUCTION In mid-career, the renowned 17th century Baroque artist Johannes Vermeer painted " Girl with a Pearl Earring ," which has been called the Dutch Mona Lisa. Girl with a Pearl Earring tells the story behind the advent of this famous painting, all the while depicting life in 17th century Delft, a small Dutch city with a burgeoning art community. The novel centers on Griet, the Protestant daughter of a Delft tile painter who lost his sight in a kiln accident. In order to bring income to her struggling family, Griet must work as a maid for a more financially sound family. When Jan Vermeer and his wife approve of Griet as a maid for their growing Catholic household, she leaves home and quickly enters adult life. The Vermeer household, with its five children, grandmother and long-time servant, is ready to make Griet's working life difficult. Though her help is sorely needed, her beauty and innocence are both coveted and resented. Vermeer's wife Catharina, long banished from her husband's studio for her clumsiness and lack of genuine interest in art, is immediately wary of Griet, a visually talented girl who exhibits signs of artistic promise. Taneke, the faithful servant to the grandmother, proves her protective loyalty by keeping a close eye on Griet's every move. A Little Background The Baroque period is remembered less by one specific style of art than as a period of time. Derived from the Portuguese "barocco" for "irregular pearl," Baroque was comprised of many diversions from Biblically based Renaissance painting. The Protestant Reformation unleashed artists from rote depictions of scenes from the Bible and allowed them to venture into increasingly more interesting domestic domains. Ladies of the day would pose before silent musical instruments in rooms adorned with the trappings of success, like maps of newly explored territories and shelves with expensive volumes of books. As the merchant class gained monetary status in the community, so did their desire to be painted, just as royalty was just a few decades earlier.

    Extractions: Falling Angels chronicles the lives of two girls whose families own adjacent plots in a London cemetery one decorated with a sentimental angel, the other with an elaborate urn. During a ceremonial stroll through the graveyard grounds, an act of mourning for the recently deceased Queen Victoria, Maude Coleman and Lavinia Waterhouse meet, forging a fast friendship. Despite their distinct personality differences, Maude being more precocious and contemplative and Lavinia leaning to the impulsive and dramatic, the girls are instantly drawn to each other to the dismay of their mothers. Despite being neighbors, Kitty Coleman and Gertrude Waterhouse occupy different positions in the British class system the Waterhouses are lower-middle class, while the Colemans are upper-middle class, with a larger house and garden, and live-in servants. The women have little in common, and their views on the changing political climate fall on opposite ends of the spectrum. Kitty looks forward to a more modern society, while the Gertrude reveres the late Queen Victoria and clings to Victorian traditions. The death of Queen Victoria marked the end of an era. Britain emerged from the shadows of oppressive Victorian values to a more liberal Edwardian lifestyle. With these relaxed social standards came other advances

    Extractions: By Genres By Authors Discussing Books Home Reviews En français Games Links Contact us Tracy Chevalier, Girl with a Pearl Earring Looking closely at the famous painting by Vermeer, one wonders at the model: Who was she? Where did her unusual headdress come from? What is she looking at? What feelings animates the face of this "Dutch Mona Lisa"? Why is she wearing a pearl earring when the rest of her outfit seems to identify her as a maid? These are the questions that Tracy Chevalier must have asked herself, when she decided to write a novel about the Girl with a Pearl Earring With the few biographical details known of Vermeer and a lot of imagination, Chevalier has created a lively picture of 17th century Delft, settled in the household of the Master, composed of himself, his sulky wife Catharina, their numerous children and his despotic but fair mother-in-law Maria Thins. When Griet, a sixteen-years-old innocent girl, whose family cannot support her anymore, is hired by the Master's wife to help with the household chores, she knows from the beginning that a hard time is awaiting her. She has to deal with the lunatic temper of Tanneke, the other maid who wants to assert her superior position, the cunning and meanness of Cornelia, one of the painter's daughter and the jealousy of his wife who, unlike Griet, is not allowed in the Master's studio, because of her extreme clumsiness. The only consolation Griet finds in her situation is the time spent in the studio, where she is asked to clean without moving the objects carefully displayed for the background of a painting. Despite her lack of education, Griet shares with Vermeer an ability to see better than average people; she intuitively knows the colors that "fights" when put side by side, and senses what small details could improve the general appearance of a painting. As Vermeer gradually acknowledges her skills, he allows her closer to his creative world, letting her run errands for him or teaching her how to grind colors, until she eventually goes "through the looking glass", becoming herself the "object" of a painting.

The funerals of Queen Victoria mark the beginning of the short reign of King Edward. In this transitional and more relaxed period of English history, we follow 9 years in the li v e s of two families, the Colemans and the Waterhouses, until the death of King Edward. Big and small events are witnessed and analyzed by each member of the two families, plus their maids, a gravedigger's son, and the manager of the cemetery, bringing with each short chapter a new perspective, through the voices of working class, middle class or upper-middle class children and adults. The Colemans and Waterhouses, neighbors in life and in death since the two families own adjacent graves , will have to show civility to each other despite their differences since their respective daughters, Maude and Lavinia, become best friends. Their infatuation for the cemetery will cause their lives and the lives of their families to revolve around it: it becomes the unusual place where friendships and love affairs are tied and broken... Just as I was becoming slightly weary of this mortuary scenery, the novel takes a new turn and the focus of interest shifts from the cemetery to a larger picture of London.

    Extractions:    E le piace chiacchierare, la gente deve esserle simpatica e lo è anche lei, con quello splendido sorriso luminoso e aperto. Il suo primo romanzo, “La ragazza con l’orecchino di perla”, è il libro dell’anno consigliato dai librai, la storia delicata e squisita del volto che appare in un famoso quadro di Vermeer, con una sciarpa blu in testa e una perla che cattura la luce e lo sguardo. Quando ho letto la nota biografica sul quarto di copertina del suo primo, magico libro, ho visto che lei è americana e mi sono chiesta che cosa avesse spinto un’americana ad interessarsi tanto, e in modo così approfondito, alla pittura olandese. E adesso mi ha nuovamente sorpreso con l’ Inghilterra post- vittoriana in questo nuovo romanzo.

    Extractions:    Due famiglie di diversa condizione sociale si incontrano nella visita d’obbligo al cimitero. C’è la statua di un angelo sulla tomba dei Waterhouse. Un’urna su quella dei Coleman. Forse possiamo presagire due fini diverse. Le due bambine, Maude e Livy, fanno amicizia. Maude Coleman si trova a suo agio nella casa dei Waterhouse. La mamma di Livy è più affettuosa, meno sofisticata della sua che è sempre così insoddisfatta, così inquieta.    Sarà Maude, a cui il padre ha insegnato ad amare l’astronomia, ad andare all’università, e questa viene considerata una novità stravagante e inutile per una donna. Gli orizzonti di Livy sono più limitati, influenzata com’è dalla sua famiglia. Il suo passatempo è annotare dettagliatamente le regole da seguire in caso di lutto. Rappresentano il passato e il futuro della donna.    D’altra parte è la mamma di Maude che cerca l’amore fuori del matrimonio, passa attraverso il dolore di una perdita (un altro angelo caduto) per unirsi poi con entusiasmo al movimento delle suffragette nella richiesta del voto alle donne.La mamma di Livy si tiene in disparte, tra ammirazione e disapprovazione. Un grande raduno a Hyde Park, questa volta gli angeli ribelli sono le donne, ma ogni inizio di un’epoca nuova vuole le sue vittime, i suoi angeli caduti, uno per ogni famiglia.

Using a multiple narrative to allow each character his or her own "voice", Chevalier skilfully reveals the aspirations of the generation - this century's grandmothers and great-grandmothers - against the backdrop of Edwardian England.

    Extractions: Een aantal verhalen waarbij een schilderij van Vermeer het middelpunt is. Het eerste verhaal is in het heden gesitueerd waar een leraar een prachtig schilderij in bezit heeft waarvan hij denkt dat het een onbekende Vermeer is, maar het schilderij is in de Tweede Wereldoorlog door zijn vader gestolen van een Joodse, gedeporteerde familie. In de volgende verhalen maak je dan steeds kennis met vorige eigenaren van het schilderij door de eeuwen heen tot aan het moment dat het doek wordt geschilderd. Het laatste verhaal gaat dan over het meisje dat model heeft gestaan. De moeite waard vond ik. Tracy Chevalier: Girl with a pearl earring. Dit gaat ook over een Vermeer, een verhaal over het mogelijke ontstaan van dit schilderij, geschreven vanuit het gezichtpunt van een dienstmeisje van de Vermeers dat model stond voor dit schilderij. Heel ontroerend, mooi geschreven, en een geloofwaardig tijdsbeeld. Deborah Moggach's boek Tulip Fever, gaat dan wel niet over Vermeer maar speelt in het Amsterdam van de 17e eeuw en vertelt het verhaal van een schilder die een portret moet maken van de jonge vrouw van een oudere koopman. Een driehoeksverhouding.
