Review of The Girl Who Knew Da Vinci
[Following is a volunteer review of "The Girl Who Knew Da Vinci" by Belle Ami.]
Reincarnation is the rebirth of an old soul into a new body. Whether this is fact or fiction is up to the individual who is pondering this phenomenon. I believe this book was written as a positive vote on the side of reincarnation. It is quite a touchy issue, and the author has managed to illustrate that, whether you believe or not, it is still possible to maintain an open mind and enjoy a good book dealing with the subject.
The Girl Who Knew Da Vinci by Belle Ami is the story of a missing art piece, ghosts and reincarnation, and a love story combined into one book. When Angela Renatus gets an internship at the prestigious Getty Museum she thinks this is the opportunity she has been looking for to establish herself in the art world as a first-class art researcher. Now, after landing her dream job, she is being tormented by sleepless nights and headaches brought on by her nightmares when she does get the chance to sleep. Angela will come to realize that she is the reincarnation of two different individuals in past lives. Alex Caine is a private art detective who has been hired to find the missing Da Vinci painting to clear his client's family name. He will come to know that he has lived two past lives as someone else as well. He and Angela have a connection that has overcome time and space and they must work together to solve this mystery from the past. They must do this not only to give all the spirits involved peace, but to also thwart her unscrupulous boss who is also trying to find the missing painting for his own profit and prestige.
The positive side of the book is the way in which the author transitions from a present-day scene to a long-ago scene that is brought on by some trigger in the mind of either Angela or Alex since they both know they have been two different people in previous lives.
The only downside of the book that I could find was the author's use of Italian phrases in the writing of the story. While the phrases are a necessary part of the story, if you do not know Italian you will be spending a bit of time translating these phrases to ensure that you do not miss anything important to the content of the book.
I would recommend this book to a more mature audience due to the sex that is both explicit and implied. There is also a number of instances of profanity. I rate this book with 3 out of 4 stars due to the errors found that indicate a better job of editing could have been done.
