There were hints here and there about different norms during the three time periods represented such as Fioretta's knowledge that if anyone knew she was posing for Leonardo she would not be spoken well of, and Angela and Sophia both being working women.

I hadn't even thought about culture being important in the book, until this question was asked in the forum Made me think a little deeper, and yes, there are hints... but overall that's not a focus in the book.kfwilson6 wrote: โ27 Jun 2018, 14:19 I don't think the various cultures were particularly noticeable in this novel. Although much of the story took place in Italy, I don't feel like there was much of an "Italian" feel to it other than the descriptions of the scenery.
