Following the ?absolutely superb?(Diane Haeger, author of "The
Secret Bride") "Mademoiselle Boleyn," novelist Robin Maxwell delves
into the life of Caterina?the adventurer, alchemist, and mother of
Leonardo 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.
Caterina suffered much cruelty as an unmarried mother and had no
recourse when her boy was taken away from her. But 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. This is her story.
