Industry reviews
"The prose of GIRL IN HYACINTH BLUE is not subtle but does carry Vreeland's story forward--or, in this case, backward--in swift, confident strides. Ultimately, the author's canny intelligence becomes clear. In borrowing from the news and focusing on a single looted piece of art, the novel performs its own revealing act of appropriation."
San Francisco Chronicle Book Review - John Perry (08/22/1999)

"This is an ambitious book that provides a peephole into the past, into an eternal source of wonder: the origins of our most captivating artistic conceptions."
Koenig
