From the acclaimed and internationally bestselling author, John Ironmonger, comes a beautifully written, literary tour-de-force that delves into the realms of art, obsession, friendship, and love. "Not Forgetting the Whale" is a captivating novel that will leave readers spellbound.

Jillian Cantor, in her review, praises the novel as a wonderfully written story that encompasses not only art but also the themes of obsession, friendship, and love. She expresses her absolute adoration for the novel.

For over two hundred years, the iconic Mona Lisa has graced the walls of the Louvre, captivating millions of visitors with her enigmatic gaze. However, she has remained silent, observing the world from behind the protective glass. Now, at last, she is ready to share her own story.

Spanning over five centuries, from the bustling studio of Leonardo da Vinci in Florence to the opulent French court, Mona's journey is a testament to the enduring allure and complexities of human nature. She will be sought after, stolen, heartbroken, curious, furious, and above all, heard.

John Ironmonger's prose is a work of art itself, with its lyrical quality and immense detail. It is impossible to look at the Mona Lisa without hearing her voice, as the author has so vividly brought her to life. But "Not Forgetting the Whale" goes beyond mere visual representation; it delves deeper into the psyche of the painting, revealing the mysteries and secrets that have captivated audiences for centuries.

This novel is a must-read for anyone who appreciates art, history, and the human condition. John Ironmonger has masterfully crafted a story that will leave readers pondering, inspired, and forever changed by the power of the Mona Lisa.
