Based upon a servant mentioned in the historical Leonardo da Vinci's notebooks, Giacomo is this book's narrator. Filled with the flavor of an Italian Renaissance household, Leonardo's Shadow has the historical accuracy to make it believable. Revolving around the painting of "The Last Supper," this story offers up action, suspense, and the everyday activities of Giacomo's Milan. Yet, it points out the problems of living within the patron system, compounded by the everchanging interests of a man of genius. I can highly recommend this chronicle of Giacomo's journey to find himself and his path through life.
