Tracy Chevalier writes really good historical fiction, with six currently to her name. Here's a list of them: The Virgin Blue (1996) Girl with a Pearl Earring (1999) Falling Angels (2001) The Lady and the Unicorn (2003) Burning Bright (2007) Remarkable Creatures (2009) Here's a quote about her book, Girl with a Pearl Earring, a historical fiction based on the painting by Vermeer: "Griet goes to work as a servant for the painter Vermeer and through gradual stages of intimacy becomes his model. This is a beautifully observed novel - a painting in words, deep with tension and subtle shadows and a surface of wonderful colour." --Elizabeth Chadwick I highly recommend this book. ;D Her website is: www.tchevalier.com
