The Malibu Book Club discusses "Signora Da Vinci" by Robin Maxwell
Diesel, A Bookstore in Malibu, søndag, juli 14, 2013 kl. 5pm
Diesel, A Bookstore in Malibu welcomes the Malibu Book Club back to the store to discuss Robin Maxwell's novel, Signora Da Vinci, on Wednesday, July 10th at 5pm.
Following the absolutely superb Mademoiselle Boleyn, novelist Robin Maxwell delves into the life of Caterina, adventurer, alchemist, and mother of Leonardo da Vinci in Signora Da Vinci.
Caterina was fifteen years old in 1452 when she bore an illegitimate child in the tiny village of Vinci. His name was Leonardo, and he was destined to change the world forever. She suffered much cruelty as an unmarried mother and had no recourse when her son was taken away from her. However, no one knew the secrets of her own childhood, nor could ever have imagined the dangerous and heretical scheme she would devise to protect and watch over her remarkable son. Signora Da Vinci is her story.
Unless otherwise listed, the Malibu Book Club meets on the second Wednesday of each month at 5pm at our Malibu store. Meetings are free and open to the public, so come on down!
