Told from the point of view of the world’s most famous painting, this true-crime whodunit begins with the 1911 theft of the Mona Lisa from the Louvre Museum. Police question everyone from Picasso to J.P Morgan but can't crack the case. Meanwhile the painting herself plots her escape — and along the way, tells us about the visionary artist Leonardo da Vinci, the apprentice who would become his lover, and the secrets behind the masterpiece. The portrait solves mysteries that have baffled fans and stumped scholars for centuries: Why Leonardo never delivered the painting to the man who commissioned it. Who she is. And why she’s smiling. Equally Divine is a time-hopping, gender-bending drama about art, inspiration, and becoming who we are.
