Publisher's Note The debut novel from the author of Girl with a Pearl Earring presents a dark, mysterious tale that weaves the stories of two women in two different centuries into an increasingly complex web--twentieth-century Ella, who dreams in blue when she moves to southwestern France, and sixteenth-century Isabelle, Ella's ancestor, who had been persecuted as a suspected witch. Reprint.
Industry Reviews "A rich and quirky Chinese puzzle of sorts....[A] modest work of some skill, told with a minimum of melodrama and some good local color." Kirkus Reviews (06/01/2003)
