Of Tracy Chevalier's novels, I've read only her first, The Virgin Blue, and that was so long ago I remember little about it (and have no notes to fall back on), but I do know I enjoyed it very much and intended to read more of her work. Such is the way of these things I've still not gone back to her, despite the enormous success of Girl With a Pearl Earring,
and praise for recent books such as her latest, Remarkable Creatures
, about the fossil hunter Mary Anning (video clip on that here).
This short video, filmed at the V&A and made with reference to a short story Tracy Chevalier was writing for their magazine - hint: the needlewomen amongst us might like to take a look at it - is relevant to her books generally and to the novel she is currently working on, and there's a little more on that new book here (scroll down to January 2011 and September 2010), though it sounds as though it's quite a long way from publication.
However, there are six Tracy Chevalier novels available - have you read them, and if so, which of her books is your favourite?
