I was lying in bed one morning, worrying about what I was going to write next. (Writers are always worrying about that.) A poster of the Vermeer painting Girl With a Pearl Earring hangs in my bedroom, as it has done since I was nineteen and first discovered the painting. I lay there idly contemplating the girl's face, and thought suddenly, "I could write about her." Within three days I had the whole story worked out. It was effortless; I could see it all in her face. Vermeer had done all my work for me. " I have always loved Vermeer's paintings. One of my life goals is to view all thirty-five of them in the flesh. I've seen all but one - Young Girl Reading a Letter , which hangs in Dresden. There is so much mystery in each painting, in the women he depicts, so many stories suggested but not told. I wanted to tell one of them. " Links On Booksense.com

HOME APPEARANCES GIRL WITH A PEARL ... CONTACT "I was born in October 1962 and grew up in Washington, DC. "As a kid I’d often said I wanted to be a writer "Once I took a night class in creative writing I worked as a reference book editor for several years until 1993 when I left my job The Virgin Blue during that year, and continued it once the course was over, juggling writing with freelance editing. "I began Girl with a Pearl Earring in February 1998 and completed it in October 1998, working full-time. Two weeks later I had my son. There’s nothing like a fixed biological deadline to focus the mind! I don’t think I’ll ever write anything so quickly again. Since then I have juggled motherhood and writing, and feel lucky that I have a job with so much flexibility." "I wrote Falling Angels between April 1999 and April 2001. "I try to put the success of Girl with a Pearl Earring out of my head when I write. If I thought about it much I’d be paralyzed with the fear of everyone’s expectations of me. I still feel like a novice. Sometimes I read what I’ve just written and think, Yuck. Each book is just as hard to write as the previous. I might have a good writing day, but the next day I still have to face the blank sheet of paper. It’s a painful process but I wouldn’t trade it for anything. It’s kind of like running – you feel terrible for those first 10 minutes but then it gets better and afterwards you feel great."

The story First chapter The paintings in the story About Vermeer ... Order the book "The man was watching me, his eyes grey like the sea. He had a long, angular face, and his expression was steady. He had no beard or moustache, and I was glad, for it gave him a clean appearance. He wore a black cloak over his shoulders, a white shirt, and a fine lace collar. His hat pressed into hair the red of brick washed by rain." tchevalier.com Other novels Falling Angels Virgin Blue Author Appearances Contact Detail from The Procuress VERMEER LINKS: Vermeer's complete works online About the camera obscura On Readerville.com: transcript of a forum on "Vermeer in recent fiction" with Tracy, Katharine Weber Susan Vreeland's website for her novel "Girl in Hyacinth Blue" A site devoted to Vermeer NYTimes article about ... the Vermeer exhibition as experienced by readers of GWaPE A virtual tour of Vermeer's house In fact, we don't know what Vermeer looked like.

Interview Books by Tracy Chevalier FALLING ANGELS GIRL WITH A PEARL EARRING Tracy Chevalier BIO "I was born and grew up in Washington, DC. After getting a BA in English from Oberlin College (Ohio), I moved to London, England in 1984. I intended to stay 6 months; I’m still here. "As a kid I’d often said I wanted to be a writer because I loved books and wanted to be associated with them. I wrote the odd story in high school, but it was only in my twenties that I started writing ‘real’ stories, at night and on weekends. Sometimes I wrote a story in a couple evenings; other times it took me a whole year to complete one. "Once I took a night class in creative writing, and a story I’d written for it was published in a London-based magazine called Fiction. I was thrilled, even though the magazine folded 4 months later. "An agent is essential to getting published. I found my agent Jonny Geller through dumb luck and good timing. A friend from the MA course had just signed on with him and I sent my manuscript of THE VIRGIN BLUE mentioning my friend’s name. Jonny was just starting as an agent and needed me as much as I needed him. Since then he’s become a highly respected agent in the UK and I’ve gone along for the ride."

Books by Tracy Chevalier FALLING ANGELS GIRL WITH A PEARL EARRING FALLING ANGELS Tracy Chevalier Dutton Fiction ISBN: 0525945814 Read an Excerpt FALLING ANGELS is Tracy Chevalier's long-awaited follow-up to her international bestseller GIRL WITH A PEARL EARRING. However, this new title is far from a companion piece to her beloved debut. Kitty's diametrical opposite is Gertrude Waterhouse. Gertrude longs to be more than she is - in short, the proper Victorian lady. She follows manners books, wears all the right things and instructs her two precocious daughters on how to be gentlewomen. Kitty and Gertrude (and their families) are brought together in a chance meeting in a graveyard. The families have abutting plots, and their marked social and cultural differences are immediately recognizable: the Waterhouse's gravestone features a large, romantic, old-fashioned angel, which the Coleman's want removed. Even putting this implausible relationship aside, the children themselves leave a lot to be desired. They are precocious to the extreme and, even allowing for the fact that children in turn-of-the-century times spoke in a way that is unfamiliar to modern ears, their dialogue is stilted and unbelievable. And in Livy, Chevalier has created a real little monster - a spoiled drama-queen who uses all her powers of manipulation against her family, Simon, and the Colemans. Not to say there aren't children like her in the world, but why should we want to read about them?

Verbotene Freiheit? Tracy Chevalier Wenn Engel fallen München: Econ Ullstein List Verlag 2001, 384 S. 2002/07 Ixlibris Wenn Engel fallen ist ein äußerst einfühlsam und stellenweise auch sehr emotional geschriebener Roman über die Entwicklung der Kindheit, sexuelle Befreiung, über Tod und schuldhafte Verstrickungen. Vor dem historischen Hintergrund einer scheinheiligen viktorianischen Gesellschaft entfaltet sich das Schicksal der Protagonisten in direkter Wechselwirkung mit ihrem sozialen Beziehungsfeld und unübersehbar zeigt sich das Gesicht einer Gesellschaft zwischen bröckelnder Tradition und dem Aufbruch in die Moderne. -hmw DIESEN TITEL
