A sparkling story that shines with love and art as it bounces between Leonardo Da Vinci's time period and World War II. I was constantly amazed at the way the two time periods came together and lines from one made sense in the other. I will always be touched by reading about Leonardo Da Vinci this way and love him so much more. The story also made me appreciate the tremendous job that was done to protect the art during World War II. An absolutely brilliant book that is a must read.
