Product Description

From Publishers Weekly

Set against a backdrop of political and religious conflicts in 15th-century Medici-ruled Florence, Kalogridis's bloody historical (after The Borgia Bride) identifies the subject of Leonardo da Vinci's painting as Lisa di Antonio Gherardini. Lisa was the daughter of Madonna Lucrezia, wife of a wealthy wool merchant who also enchanted both da Vinci and Lorenzo de' Medici's brother Giuliano, murdered by conspirators in 1478. Giuliano's assassination—and the later murder of Lucrezia—presage a reign of religious terror led by a monk known as Savonarola and the retreat of the Medicis in the face of invasion from France's King Charles. An adult Lisa attracts the romantic attentions of a young Medici scion, whom she marries for love. (His father, Lorenzo, commissions her portrait from da Vinci.) But violent events soon separate the couple and a brutal Savonarola follower tells Lisa that her husband is dead—and her father's life in danger—unless she marries him instead. Lisa survives, an avenging angel, proving herself worthy of da Vinci's immortal artistry. Kalogridis's fevered bodice ripper invents a passionate woman behind La Gioconda's enigmatic smile. (Nov.)

1.0 out of 5 stars If You Have to Read This, Get It From the Library, Jul 10 2009

By	Janice Schick "Book Junkie" (Toronto) - See all my reviews

I think this is one of the worst books I've ever read and regret spending money on it. I don't know if it was the writing style or that most of the "facts" were wrong. I found it frustrating most of the time and ridiculous for the rest.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fabulous! This book captures you!, Feb 7 2007

By	K. Lindsay (Edmonton, AB Canada) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I found this book hard to get into at first, there are lots of characters introduced and it's hard to keep track... however, as the story develops you do not want to put this book down and never want to stop believing the love story is over.
