Title: Amazing book
Review: Karen Essex is one of my favorite writers. I thought her previous books (KLEOPATRA and PHARAOH) were absolutely stunning. Surprisingly I loved her new book, LEONARDO'S SWANS, even more. It's a richly told story about two rival sisters who vie for the affections of the Duke of Milan (to whom one of the sister's is married) through Leonardo daVinci and his works. Having no background on daVinci before his time with the Medici's, I found this book to be both historically illuminating and throughly engrossing. The characters, imagery and story are incredible, especially since they point to the real inspirations for some of daVinci's most famous works. The political machinations are clearly told in a way that makes them both understandable and exciting. Additionally, the introduction of two more formidable woman of history makes this an important book. It was a wonderful read all the way around. I cannot wait for her next book to come out.
