![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Painted by Jonathan Janson for the TV adaptation of the Girl in Hyacinth Blue ![]() C lick here for Susan Vreeland's Home Page December 2, 2002 Susan Vreelands' Girl in Hyacinth Blue has been produced by the Hallmark Hall of Fame. She demonstrates how one person's evil changes forever the dynamics of those he loves. Vreeland also incorporates the horrors of the Holocaust from several perspectives, most notably the victim and victimizer and swirls it around the main character of her book-the painting. Her depiction of the women in each story emphasizes their limited freedom and lack of control over their lives and the lives of their children. While demonstrating "six degrees of separation," Vreeland connects other topics. Readers time travel through these stories from today back to the moment Vermeer created the painting of a girl lost in contemplation, her hands idle in her lap, her sewing forgotten. Girl in Hyacinth Blue traces the painting, a figment of the author's imagination, through a series of eight interconnected short stories.
