The Virgin Blue: Historical fiction from the multimillion copy bestselling author of Girl with a Pearl Earring Chevalier, Tracy

**The Virgin Blue** whisks you between two timelines—1490s France and 1990s rural France—following women separated by centuries but connected by secrets, family mysteries, and that inexplicable pull of ancestry. Tracy Chevalier (yes, the genius behind *Girl with a Pearl Earring*) weaves religious persecution, identity, and belonging into a gripping historical fiction that'll have you questioning what you'd do for survival.

Perfect for fans of dual-timeline narratives, French history buffs, or anyone who's ever wondered about their family's dark secrets. Chevalier's knack for bringing historical periods to vivid life shines as she explores themes of faith, sacrifice, and women's resilience across the ages.

This preloved copy from Patina Paperbacks carries the well-loved charm of a book that's clearly captured readers' hearts—and your bookshelf will thank you for the addition.
