Tracy Chevalier's six best books

Tracy Chevalier is the best-selling author of Girl With a Pearl Earring and other books.

For the Daily Express, she named her six best books. One title on the list:

LADDER OF YEARS by Anne Tyler

I’m a big fan. She sets her books in Baltimore and concentrates on family relationships. This is about a woman who walks down the beach away from her family, gets on a bus and starts a whole new life. I’ve always loved that idea of stepping away from everything you’ve built up.
