Description
Leonardo's Swans is the story of the powerful Este sisters, Beatrice, Duchess of Milan, and Isabella, Marchesa of Mantua, as they compete for the affections of Italy's most influential prince, the Duke of Milan, and for the larger prize, to be immortalized in oil by his court painter and engineer, Leonardo da Vinci. Sexy, inspiring, and intelligent, her story of love, intrigue, and art is truly unforgettable.
Please note: This is the abridged edition. An unabridged version is also available.
Ce que les critiques en disent
“Privileged sisters compete over men, attention - and the chance to be immortalized on canvas by Leonardo da Vinci in this instantly absorbing tale.” (Redbook magazine)
“Two very different sisters, two very different husbands, and one of the greatest geniuses of all times, Leonardo da Vinci. In this sizzling historical novel set in 15th-century Italy, Essex combines art, political intrigue, family feuds and sex to create a page-turner that also probes the experience of being painted and whether it can offer immortality.” (USA Today)
“Acclaimed author Karen Essex spins a wild yarn about sexual politics and the struggle for immortality.” (Harper’s Bazaar, “Hot Reads” pick)
