Episode Details

Laura and I discuss The Stolen Lady, her decades-long fascination with the Mona Lisa, how the Nazis sought to steal all of Leonardo da Vinci's paintings and drawings during World War 2, that the Mona Lisa was never delivered to its patron and instead how da Vinci brought it to France with him, and much more.

Laura’s recommended reads are:

1. Hamnet by Maggie O'Farrell
2. Homegoing by Yaa Gyasi
3. Anticipation by Melodie Winawer
4. The Other Mrs. by Mary Kubica
