Da Vinci's Tiger by L.M. Elliott

5.0

I had a chance to read the ARC, and this is an extraordinary book. The historical setting of Renaissance Florence is painted in lush, incredibly researched detail. The heroine, Ginevra de Benci, is smart, articulate, and totally kick-butt: a compelling character for YA and adult readers alike! Fans of Art History will also appreciate the depictions and characterizations of Leonardo Da Vinci and his artistic peers. Lots of plot twists that kept me engaged the whole way through. In many ways, this book celebrates the power of women, the power of poetry, and the power of art. An absolute must-read!
