Customer Reviews

No wonder this was a book club book!

A wonderfully told biography of Isabella D'Este. Well written and entertaining. This historical account of a brilliant, vain, generous, calculating women of the Italian Renaissance is filled with delight, shock and sadness. No emotion is left unaffected. It is not only written to paint a story with words, but included are several pages of paintings of the era. We give it five stars because it is well written, entertaining, includes portraits and is a story that had to be told.
