My best book for the month of June 2020 is The Giant by Laura Morelli. Here, the lives of childhood friends Michelangelo and fresco painter Jacopo Torni come together in the creation of some pieces of art that have been well renowned over the past five centuries. Morelli writes in detail about the lavish sites and sounds of Renaissance Florence. The artistry and architecture of the city are deliciously described by an author with a PhD in art history. I am sure her background was helpful to her in writing this fabulous novel.
