"Mona's Eyes" by Tom Schlesser is a unique book, a coming-of-age story and a captivating journey into the world of art. Ten-year-old Mona unexpectedly loses her sight.
Her sudden blindness soon resolves, but the risk of relapse remains. Gradually, the ophthalmologist treating her comes to believe that these bouts of blindness may be due to the profound stress Mona has experienced. However, instead of the doctor's prescribed visits to a psychiatrist, her grandfather, a former brilliant photojournalist, takes Mona to Parisian museums once a week and shows her masterpieces of painting and sculpture, helping her appreciate their beauty and grasp the wonder of art. Along with Mona and her compelling grandfather, the reader wanders through the museum halls, uncovering the creative history of great masters from the Renaissance to the present day. At the same time, Mona faces a stressful daily life with complex problems, some of which are far from childish. Week after week, thanks to the horizons that have opened up to her, Mona matures and begins not only to understand art, but also to build her own relationships with the world.
