This bewitching novel from “one of the reigning queens of historical fiction” (C.W. Gortner) imagines the life of 15-year-old unwed mother Caterina, who gave birth to Leonardo da Vinci. “A masterful blend of fact and fiction, Signora da Vinci mesmerizes” (Michelle Moran).

In this “wonderfully juicy historical novel” (Publishers Weekly starred review), young Queen Elizabeth I is entrusted with the diary of the mother she never knew — the tragic and infamous Anne Boleyn. And as she gains insight into her mother’s dramatic life, Elizabeth embarks on her own journey of self-discovery.
