«La noia de blau» is the historical novel by Susan Vreeland, published by Edicions 62 in paperback (224 pages, in Catalan).
The narrative starts from a painting attributed to Johannes Vermeer and follows its journey over three hundred years. The canvas, which shows a young woman sewing by a window, passes through eight hands; each owner lives a story marked by a passion for art, and the beauty of the painting illuminates the most moving moments of their lives.
Catalan translation by Nuria Panadés Valencia. The original English novel was published in 1999. It belongs to the Butxaca collection.
Aimed at readers of historical and literary fiction, art lovers, and reading clubs.
