Plume, 2003

I quite like Tracy Chevalier's books, although I believe she has sort of lost her touch with her two most recent novels, The Lady and the Unicorn and Burning Bright. "The Virgin Blue" is her debut novel, and while it also deals with a part of European history, the main motive of all Chevalier's ...
