A review by cstefko
Da Vinci's Tiger by L.M. Elliott

4.0

I can't speak to how historically accurate this book is, but I really enjoyed it. Ginevra was a great character. She was definitely what we would call a feminist in today's world, but L.M. Elliott kept her true to the time period as well. I guess I had never read much about Leonardo da Vinci, because I didn't know he was rumored to be queer. So that was unexpected, but I appreciate how the author handled it. Poor Ginevra through :P And I loved that bit about Ginevra's husband being a potential friend after all, because they were both in a marriage they didn't want to be in.
I hope I get a chance to swing by the National Gallery of Art when I'm in DC in March so I can see the painting in person!
I'm glad this book was included in December's Owl Crate :)
