The Lady and the Unicorn

My current library audio book is "The Lady and the Unicorn" by Tracy Chevalier. I've had a copy of the "Girl with a pearl earring" for a few years now that a friend leant me, and after I'd borrowed this audio book, I realised I had my mother's copy in paperback.

I'm enjoying it, but not finding it as "serious" as I'd imagined, in fact it's a bit of a "bodice-ripper". She's clearly done a lot of research on tapestry making, and incorporates her knowledge, even to the point of being too didactic, but it still makes for a good, engaging light read.
