About this listen

C.T. Hayes masterfully blends storytelling and historical fiction in this captivating coming-of-age tale about the world’s most famous muse... the Mona Lisa.

Florence, Italy 1503

Lisa Gherardini longs for a life beyond the confines of an arranged marriage and the rigid expectations of Renaissance Florence’s nobility. Her escape comes in the form of an invitation from the renowned Master Leonardo da Vinci. Captivated by his charm, demeanor, and passion for expressive art and beauty, Lisa is drawn into his world.

Da Vinci has been searching for a young woman, in the flower of her beauty, whose likeness will inspire him to create his greatest work. When artist and muse enter into a private association, Lisa steps away from the constraints of her world, if just for a little while, allowing da Vinci to timelessly capture her immortal beauty for generations to come.

But there are consequences for a girl of nobility associating with painters or sculptors without the permission of a husband or father. Acting independently could expose Lisa and her family to ridicule and shame. Will her daring choices lead to disgrace—or something far greater? Discover the untold secrets behind the iconic painting in Lisa of Florence.
