This is an excellent book. It was my first audio book so it took some getting used to but I found myself looking for excuses to drive and sitting in my car before and after my drive so that I could listen to more of it!
I am an avid reader of historical fiction so I am aware that it is difficult to keep the balance between historical accuracy and good storytelling. This novel hits the nail right on the head. The language is beautiful and the story is lovely. I recommend this novel to anyone interested in Italian Renaissance art, Renaissance history or historical fiction in general. It's a gem!
