Who Stole the Mona Lisa? A Talk by Lisa Rochon, Author of The Paris Thief

Join author Lisa Rochon as she discusses her new book, The Paris Thief. The Paris Thief is a page-turning story of deep, crushing love, betrayal and fearless sacrifice, and one woman's complicated connection to the world's greatest masterpiece. Based on diaries and memoirs, the novel shines a light on the French women who helped to lead the evacuation of the Louvre's artworks as well as the female artists, largely unrecognized, who developed the modern movement of art in the rough studios of Montmartre, along with Picasso and Georges Braque. Lisa Rochon is the bestselling author of Tuscan Daughter. She is also an award-winning architecture critic, cultural commentator, and essayist. The two-time winner of a National Newspaper Award for her "City Space" column in The Globe and Mail and the recipient of the Royal Architectural Institute of Canada's President's Award for Architectural Journalism, she is passionate about seeing the world afresh and with new complexity through female eyes.
