A fascinating look at the art world and political climate in Renaissance Florence. Inspired by Da Vinci’s first portrait, this work of fiction is nevertheless filled with historical accuracies and fully captures the aristocratic circles of the time period from the point of view of his young muse. ~ Reviewed by Jessica Wood
A powerhouse of a novel embracing experiences and themes stripped bare of contemporary trappings to wholly focus on the story of Jack and his foster brother. While sadness and tragedy garner the story, the redemptive ending is worth the tears. 12 & up. ~ Reviewed by Jessica Wood
