Publisher Description

Hers is the most famous portrait in the world. Here, in prose as rich as the high Renaissance, is Mona Lisa's tale. A story of passion, loss, and, above all, love.

Elisabetta longs for romance, though she thinks she's too plain. Then, on a visit to Florence, she catches the eye of the great Leonardo da Vinci, and falls for a boy, Giuliano de Medici. It's a dangerous time to be involved with a Medici. As tragedy and chaos threaten their happiness, Elisabetta faces the bittersweet truth of love.

Really good:)

First I have to say I read a lot of books, and I was thoroughly addicted to this one. It was well written, and made me really feel for the characters. I liked it, loved it even. It was very historical and I didn't realize some of the main characters were actually real people, it made it even more pleasant that they were truly apart of history! Two thumbs up!

Breath Taking

Out of all the books I had read, this had to be the best books i had ever read.
I love history and now romance. The history in this book is just wonderful, it makes me want to
be in that part of time. The way you described her smile and Leonardo da Vinci was just BREATH TAKING!
I love your work, it inspired me to write! Romance I do not like but this story was so CUTE I just could not put
it down! Donna Jo Napoli keep up the good work! You are the greatest and write more of these books!
