Pearl Tapestry
tracy chevalier novels about the "girl with the pearl earring" and the one about the unicorn tapestries

i liked both novels. they were insightful into the creation of masterpieces. how people who are in power can manipulate and control. what people do for love. what do you think?

The Pearl Earring didn't seem to me so much about the power of love or manipulation so much as it was a nice insight into the "lifting of ignorance." While the main character knows little of life going into the book, she finishes a stronger, wiser and more knowledgeable person.

I'd guess I'd say the book is a statement of personal growth, and how a person can overcome large obstacles like class, poverty, etc. and find an inner power.
