When Griet becomes a maid in the household of the painter Johannes Vermeer, she thinks she knows her rote: housework, laundry and the Gare of his six children. But as she becomes part of his world and his work, their growing intimacy spreads tension and deception in the ordered household and, as the scandal seeps out, into the town beyond. Tracy Chevalier's extraordinary novel on the corruption of
innocence and the price of genius has sold over two million copies worldwide, and is now a major film starring Colin Firth.
