I, Mona Lisa by Jeanne Kalogridis
A fictionalized first-person account of Lisa Gherardini, the woman believed to be the model for the famous portrait, tracing her life in Renaissance Florence as she navigates an arranged marriage, social ambition, and the city's political and religious turmoil; she becomes entwined with artists and conspirators, encounters Leonardo da Vinci during the painting of her likeness, and faces threats from rival families and the fanatical preacher Savonarola while striving to protect her family and assert her own identity amid danger and intrigue.
