Historia
After Tova Sullivan’s husband died, she began working the night shift at the Sowell Bay Aquarium, mopping floors and tidying up. Keeping busy has always helped her cope, which she’s been doing since her eighteen-year-old son, Erik, mysteriously vanished on a boat in Puget Sound over thirty years ago. Tova becomes acquainted with curmudgeonly Marcellus, a giant Pacific octopus living at the aquarium. Marcellus knows more than anyone can imagine but wouldn’t dream of lifting one of his eight arms for his human captors—until he forms a remarkable friendship with Tova.

Leonardo da Vinci created the two most famous paintings in history, The Last Supper and the Mona Lisa. But in his own mind, he was just as much a man of science and engineering. With a passion that sometimes became obsessive, he pursued innovative studies of anatomy, fossils, birds, the heart, flying machines, botany, geology, and weaponry.

Resumen del Editor
From 1501 to 1505, Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo Buonarroti both lived and worked in Florence. Leonardo was a charming, handsome 50-year-old at the peak of his career. Michelangelo was a temperamental sculptor in his mid-20s, desperate to make a name for himself.
Michelangelo is a virtual unknown when he returns to Florence and wins the commission to carve what will become one of the most famous sculptures of all time: David. Even though his impoverished family shuns him for being an artist, he is desperate to support them. Living at the foot of his misshapen block of marble, Michelangelo struggles until the stone finally begins to speak. Working against an impossible deadline, he begins his feverish carving.
Meanwhile, Leonardo's life is falling apart: He loses the hoped-for David commission; he can't seem to finish any project; he is obsessed with his ungainly flying machine; he almost dies in war; his engineering designs disastrously fail; and he is haunted by a woman he has seen in the market - a merchant's wife, whom he is finally commissioned to paint. Her name is Lisa, and she becomes his muse.
Leonardo despises Michelangelo for his youth and lack of sophistication. Michelangelo both loathes and worships Leonardo's genius.
Oil and Marble is the story of their nearly forgotten rivalry. Storey brings early 16th-century Florence alive and has entered with extraordinary empathy into the minds and souls of two Renaissance masters. The book is an art history thriller.

There is no easy path for a woman aspiring to power. A concubine at the palace learns quickly that there are many ways to capture the emperor's attention. Many paint their faces white and style their hair attractively, hoping to lure in the One Above All with their beauty. Some present him with fantastic gifts, such as jade pendants and scrolls of calligraphy, while others rely on their knowledge of seduction to draw his interest. But young Mei knows nothing of these womanly arts, yet she will give the emperor a gift he can never forget.

But after he kills an innocent student in a duel, a mysterious man known as “The Wanderer” challenges Egert and slashes his face with his sword, leaving Egert with a scar that comes to symbolize his cowardice.

Some 500 years ago, Sandro Botticelli, a painter of humble origin, created work of unearthly beauty. An intimate associate of Florence’s unofficial rulers, the Medici, he was commissioned by a member of their family to execute a near-impossible project: to illustrate all 100 cantos of The Divine Comedy by the city’s greatest poet, Dante Alighieri. A powerful encounter between poet and artist, sacred and secular, earthly and evanescent, these drawings produced a wealth of stunning images but were never finished.

Creativity is in our bones. It is found in our very DNA, something not known to Leonardo da Vinci or anyone else who lived in his day and time. All he did was to uncover the hidden genius which lay within himself, and he used that inner genius to the very best of his abilities. Leonardo da Vinci is best known for some of the world's most masterful paintings, but he was so much more than merely another artist with paints and brushes. Born to a peasant woman in 1452, Leonardo would go on to astound the world he lived in with his artistry and his inventions.

Great novel fit artists
As an artist myself I thoroughly enjoyed this novel. Helped me to keep each artist in his correct time period. Having visited Florence I was able to visualize what the author so carefully explained. She created a wonderful story line for these two amazing Masters of art. The David was indeed quite a sight as well as all of Michelangelo’s unfinished statues at The Academia. Now I need to visit The louvre.

A delightful adventure
Had a fantastic time listening to this book while working on my own art. I got really invested in the characters and their story - even though historically we know what happens it was still gripping to see everything unfold. The performance was fantastic and really added to the charm of the story.

History comes alive.
I had trepidations going into this novel, but I was instantly drawn in by the beautiful images and and a story of two highly competitive, highly intelligent, and fiercely emotional artists evolve into truly inspiring Renaissance Masters.

Enjoyable, if a little predictable.
Not normally my choice of fiction, but bought the book on the basis that Leonardo de Vinci is a hero. I'm not up to speed on my Italian or art history so I don't know how strictly the background events adhere to reality. However I thoroughly enjoyed the book which was enhanced by the performance of Mr Ochlan.
The plot was very predictable, the destination not a surprise , but the journey really enjoyable and the scenery lovely.
If you only have the slightest interest in these two artists or the Florentine history then you will enjoy listening to this book.

This book brought life to the art I relish!
I loved the book , especially after chapter 10. It moved better with the story becoming richer and richer. Brought new light to sacrifices artists made for what they loved. Still admiring David!

Outstanding for art and history lovers
Clever way to provide us with insight about the worlds most famous sculpture and most famous painting - the artists, times and context in which they were commissioned and completed. A total delight from start to finish. And for visitors, residents and lovers of Florence - very endearing.

Very moving for me
Really enjoyed this book. I loved the real feelings evoked by the artists, their insecurities, family issues, creative blocks, etc. much to identify with for me. Great historical art story.

Excellent Historical Fiction
Incredibly dynamic. The rivalry sometimes feels a little artificial, but what this element lends to the story far outweighs any detriment. There’s a lot going on at any moment, and I love how passionately Storey writes about the artwork itself. Excellent historical fiction. Can’t wait to read her follow-up. Narrator Ochlan does a very good job. [AUDIBLE]
