E.L. Konigsburg has written a historical fiction book about the Mona Lisa. The great mystery of who she was and why da Vinci choose to paint her has puzzled people for ages.

da Vinci had an apprentice named Salai. Although he was a thief, da Vinci still kept him around and even rewarded him handsomely. Konigsburg has filled in the unknown details to create an interesting story in The Second Mrs. Gioconda.
