Characteristics


Fifty-two weeks. That's all the time Mona has left to learn about beauty before she loses her eyesight forever.
Fifty-two works of art. Every Wednesday, Mona's grandfather picks her up after school and takes her to see a great work of art.
Fifty-two chapters. Together, on their visit to Paris' museums, Mona and her grandfather will experience enchantment and sadness.
Above all, they will grow ever closer and learn to lean on each other. From Botticelli to Basquiat, Mona will discover not only the power of art, but also the meaning of generosity, doubt, melancholy, and loss. A profound, beautifully crafted novel about the fullness of life and an enthralling guide to the world's most renowned art, Mona's Eyes is a moving story about the bond between a young girl and her grandfather.
