This one is akin to Falling Angels in that the story primarily revolves around the lives of the children, but it is set in a much earlier time period, and based on the work of an artist, like ... I finished Falling Angel by William Hjortsberg. It's a gritty fast-paced crime novel, with some nice twists. I have also been reading Zeitoun by Dave Eggers and it has been amazing.

It's better than her other book Girl With a Pearl Earring, and so now I'm tempted to read her other book Falling Angels. djay666 Falling Angel by William Hjortsberg.

As they grow up together, death and the symbolism surrounding it are ... I started listening to Falling Angels by Tracy Chevalier in the car this morning. Not quite through the first CD, but so far, I'm loving it. It's very different from the others of hers that I have read (different time period, types of characters, etc.). I also read The Lady and the Unicorn and Falling Angels and had the same reaction I did to Burning Bright - fine, but nowhere near great. In my mind, the primary difference is GWAPE was driven by the characters (Griet and Vermeer), with the history and painting as a fascinating backdrop. The ... ...
