21 - Girl With A Pearl Earring by Tracy Chevalier
We really take out the trash on this one. Our friend Jessica joins us to discuss some very frustrating themes in The Girl with a Pearl Earring and reinforce that feminist historical fiction is incredible - when done well. We talk about the pros and cons of young ScarJo and Colin Firth, and call on the powers of Patty Jenkins to remake this movie.
