The Smile ~Donna Jo Napoli


I gave it 4 stars, so you already know I really liked it. It's an interesting spin on history. I like that Ms. Napoli can take a historical character (in this case a work of art) and weave a whole life around her. I especially enjoyed the historical parts. She breathes life into names and dates. Even though I know it's all from her imagination, it still feels like I now have the inside scoop on Mona Lisa's smile.
