Tracy Chevalier:
(Washington, October 1962).
British-American writer of historical novels.
She created a furore with Girl with a Pearl Earring, a novel centred on Vermeer’s painting of the same name.
My father was often impatient during March, waiting for winter to end, the cold to ease, the sun to reappear.
March was an unpredictable month, when it was never clear what might happen. Warm days raised hopes until ice and grey skies shut over the town again.
