This is a very well written and interesting novel based on the lives of 2 sisters who were the wife of and sister in law of one of Leonardo's greatest patrons the Duke of Milan. Set at the turn of the 15th to the 16th century in Italy, this book would have a great deal of interest to anyone who enjoys art history or who would like to explore life at that time through the eyes of lesser known but historical figures.
