About This Book
- Named a Best Book of the Year by Publishers Weekly, the Christian
Science Monitor, and the San Francisco Chronicle
- Nominated for the Book Sense Book of the Year
This luminous story begins in the present day, when a professor invites
a colleague to his home to see a painting that he has kept secret for
decades. The professor swears it is a Vermeer--but why has he hidden
this important work for so long? The reasons unfold in a series of
events that trace the ownership of the painting back to World War II and
Amsterdam, and still further back to the moment of the work's
inspiration. As the painting moves through each owner's hands, what was
long hidden quietly surfaces, illuminating poignant moments in multiple
lives. Vreeland's characters remind us, through their love of this
mysterious painting, how beauty transforms and why we reach for it, what
lasts and what in our lives is singular and unforgettable.
