About this audiobook

17th Century Holland. When Griet becomes a maid in the household of Johannes Vermeer in the town of Delft, she thinks she knows her role: housework, laundry and the care of his six children. But as she becomes part of his world and his work, their growing intimacy spreads tension and deception in the ordered household and, as the scandal seeps out, into the town beyond.

I read this book several years ago, in paperback format. I enjoyed revisiting the story via this audiobook. An excellent read, powerful.
