About Mona's Eyes

Mona and her grandfather have only fifty-two weeks to encounter all that is beautiful in the world before Mona loses her sight forever. The story is a deeply touching, welcoming, and inspiring journey across five centuries of art in the company of two unforgettable characters. A novel of Paris and its magnificent museums, a book that embraces the fullness of life in all its variety, Mona’s Eyes is also a moving story of the special relationship between a young girl and her grandfather.
