Book Discussion: Mona’s Eyes by Thomas Schlesser

When ten year old Mona experiences a sudden, brief loss of sight, her grandfather Henry decides to give her a gallery of artworks to visit in her mind as she faces potential permanent blindness. Through fifty-two weekly trips to museums in Paris, Mona receives an emotional art history education. Art lessons become tied to life lessons on love, fear, and beauty. Their relationship strengthens as Henry gives Mona more than a deep appreciation of art.
