Tracy Chevalier captivated readers when Dutton published The Girl with a Pearl Earring in December 1999. Since then, she has written two New York Times bestsellers, Falling Angels and The Lady and the Unicorn.
Now, three years after the publication of her last book, Chevalier is at the top of her form in the breathtaking novel Burning Bright.
“A novel teeming with the complexities of life . . . Chevalier has a fine eye for detail and delightfully captures the sights, smells, and sounds of an earlier time.”
—Chicago Sun- Times
“Chevalier’s vivid descriptions and unusual mix of characters make this story an easy pleasure to read.”
—Library Journal
“A visual delight.”
—The Times (London)
“Chevalier’s writing is most lively and supple when depicting adolescent sexuality. Indeed, this novel could comfortably be classified as juvenile fiction—a very honorable genre. . . . If she succeeds in acquainting a new generation with the rapturous work of William Blake on the eve of the 250th anniversary of his birth, she can take pride in her accomplishment.”
—The Boston Globe
“[E]ighteenth-century London, from its shadier neighborhoods to its more elegant areas, arises from these pages in all its cacophony.”
—Booklist
“Chevalier’s signature talent lies in bringing alive the ordinary day-to-dayness of the past . . . lovingly evoked.”
—Elle
“A wonderfully vivid portrait of eighteenth-century London.”
—Time Out London
“Chevalier masterfully evokes a sense of working class life . . . [in] French Revolution– era London.”
—Entertainment Weekly
