Helpful Score: 7
A captivating time in the past, an engaging heroine, murder, romance and plotting, and the most popular portrait of all time--all written by a scrupulously factual author whose voice is melodic and believable. This novel has it all and represents the best historical fiction has to offer. I was hooked from the first chapter.
This book relates, in first person, an imagined life of the subject of La Gioconde, da Vinci's masterpiece portrait of Mona Lisa. She tells of her daily life and the extraordinary times she became caught up in, all set against the backdrop of one of Italy's most magnificent cities, Florence.
You will not be disappointed.
