Leonardo's Shadow
4/6
This book was a great historical fiction read with a lot of work done in the research of Leonardo da Vinci's Life and how to weave this young man into his story. The writing was great and the plot line was fantastic. I recommend it to anyone wanting to read a little about history and a lot about life.

Memorable Quotes:
Page 125- "No it is a style new to me. The figures are almost like carvings, like sculptures, so bold and solid"..."Michelangelo!"
Page 282 - "... you will see how sweetly a fiery temper lends itself to lovemaking. Desire, anger, are the most potent of mixtures, and when they meet, they burn with a force no comfortable love can match."
Page 292 - "Dreaming is a mans balm and comfort, his recompense, for unendurable life. But for most men a dream is all they will ever have. They are not prepared for the years of hard work and perseverance required of them."
