In Susan Vreeland's gripping historical fiction, Girl in Hyacinth Blue, a professor invites a colleague from the art department to his house to examine a picture he has kept hidden for decades. Although the professor is certain that it is a Vermeer, why has he kept it concealed for so long? The reasons are revealed in an engrossing series of tales that follow the ownership of the piece back to Amsterdam in the midst of World War II and even farther to the painting's original conception.
