I really liked that too.chelhack wrote: ↑26 Jul 2018, 08:58 There are many different scenes that come to mind that could be my favorite when I reflect on this book. But to name one I think that would be the ending of the book when Fioretta, Sophie, Garhard and Guiliano all joined forces so to speak and killed the men that killed them as well as the men that were currently a threat to Angela and Alex. I think that was a great way of showing the effect of Fioretta and Guialino's undying love.

The description of the food, wine and ambience was appealing.
But the meeting between Angela and Fioretta, the daughter of Sophia and Giorgio really got me. As she was described as having Alzheimers it seemed believable that she would be able to remember something from her childhood as though it was yesterday. I felt like the quote at the beginning of the book alluded to that.
Through the dream Angela seemed to be the intermediary between Sophia and Fioretta, allowing
Sophia to be able to assure her daughter that she was loved and forgiven. From what Lucrezia had revealed to
Angela about Sophia I got the impression that the grief she felt with the loss of Gerhard and the intense love and fear she felt for Fioretta made her seem quite harsh. It was very emotional.

This scene, although not my favorite, was wonderfully written and incredibly descriptive, so I do agree that this was one of the most memorable.bookowlie wrote: ↑06 Jun 2018, 19:47 I would say the scene in the Getty Museum where Alex found Angela talking to the Medici painting. It was very unexpected and magical that the man in the painting opened his eyes, turned his face, and looked at Angela. After a flash of light came out of the painting, Angela told Alex in Italian that she loved him and kissed him. This was despite Alex being a stranger to her. Although I admit I rolled my eyes a little, the scene was vividly described and I felt like I was right there. Once I read this scene, I started thinking the book would make a good movie.
However, my favorite scene was the ending scene with everyone finding the painting. I loved how she had described all of the reincarnations being present. There was so much action with Scordato and Enrico, so much build up to what was inevitably going to happen, it was wonderful! I was drinking it all up like the last gulp of water I would ever take for as long as I live

That's what I call some well done authorial research.bookowlie wrote: ↑06 Jun 2018, 20:20 You're ten steps ahead of me! When I read the book, I wasn't sure if all of the details about the Medici family were correct. I just googled Giuliano Medici and it turns out he really had a illegitimate son with his mistress Fioretta, and his son grew up to become Pope Clement VII.
