Hardback. Etat : Good. THE 1 MILLION COPY BESTSELLER "Shockingly good."?The Daily Mail Ten-year-old Mona is about to lose her sight forever. Her beloved grandfather has only fifty-two Wednesdays to visit fifty-two works of art and commit to memory ?all that is beautiful in the world? before this happens. While the doctors can find no explanation for Mona?s brief episode of blindness, they agree that the threat of permanent vision loss cannot be ruled out. The girl?s grandfather, Henry, may not be able to stop his granddaughter from losing her sight, but he can fill the encroaching darkness with beauty. For every Wednesday during a year, the pair will visit a single masterpiece in one of Paris?s renowned museums. From Botticelli to Basquiat, Mona learns how each artist?s work shaped the world around them. In turn, the young girl?s world is changed forever by the power of their art. Under the kind and careful tutelage of her grandfather, Mona learns the true meaning of generosity, melancholy, love, loss, and revolution. Her perspective will never be the same?nor will the reader?s. READER REVIEWS "This is a novel that will touch many." "Hypnotic." "This beautiful, well-researched book is captivating."

hardcover. Etat : Very Good. Most of our very good books have only minor imperfections such as shelf wear consistent with a new book that's sat on a bookshop shelf for a year or two. Occasionally we may miss other minor imperfections as we have to grade books at speed. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
