Da Vinci's Tiger av L.M. Elliott
Da Vinci's Tiger av L.M. Elliott
Ges ut: 10 november 2015
Young, beautiful, and
witty, Ginevra de’ Benci longs to take part in the artistic ferment of
Renaissance Florence. But as the daughter of a wealthy family in a
society dictated by men, she is trapped in an arranged marriage,
expected to limit her creativity to domestic duties. Her poetry reveals
her deepest feelings, and she aches to share her work, to meet painters
and sculptors mentored by the famed Lorenzo de Medici, and to find love.
When the charismatic Venetian ambassador, Bernardo Bembo, arrives in Florence, he introduces Ginevra to a dazzling circle of patrons, artists, and philosophers—a world of thought and conversation she has yearned for. She is instantly attracted to the handsome newcomer, who admires her mind as well as her beauty. Yet Ginevra remains conflicted about his attentions. Choosing her as his Platonic muse, Bembo commissions a portrait by a young Leonardo da Vinci. Posing for the brilliant painter inspires an intimate connection between them—one Ginevra can only begin to understand. In a rich and enthralling world of exquisite art, elaborate feasts, and exhilarating jousts, she faces many temptations to discover her voice, artistic companionship, and a love that defies categorization. In the end, she and Leonardo are caught up in a dangerous and deadly battle between powerful families.

Historiska romaner är en av favoriterna inom genrer. Det första omslaget (här) var SÅ otroligt fint och jag bara älskade den. När de sedan bytte omslag till denna så blev jag besviken och tappade lite intresse för den, men jag vill ändå läsa den och hoppas den kommer vara bra.
