Title: A dis-service to the Tapestries
Review: If you have ever had the chance to sit and gaze at these magnificent tapestries in Paris, skip this book. It is nothing but a cheap romance novel that tries to drag these fantastic pieces of art and symbolism down with it. If you are truly interested in the tapestries, read one of the marvelous interpretations of their possible meanings. Some interpretations are sexual, others religious, all better stories than this one. I wish I could erase her version of the story from my head.If Tracy Chevalier wants to write yet another story about an artist's seduction of a maid, perhaps she can stick with a minor work and not one so rich in meaning.
