What do you think of reincarnation? The realization that you are the reincarnation of two separate ladies from two different eras is a surreal sensation. This young lady, Angela Renatus, may not think it extraordinary, but many people might. Angela is a recent college graduate who works at the Getty Museum in Los Angeles, California. Without understanding why, she has been having restless nights. Her employer at work, Dr. Alberto Scordato, has been making unwanted advances toward her, which has only added to her aggravation and insomnia.

Max Jaeger has recruited art sleuth Alex Caine to locate works of art from more than 500 years ago. Max is seeking to clear his uncle's name of any Nazi associations. When Angela is in one of her trances, Alex encounters her in a gallery. They are unaware that this meeting marks the beginning of other unusual occurrences. Together, they start searching for the missing Da Vinci painting. Angela is still seeing flashbacks of her previous lives as Sophia Caro and Fioretta. More threats are approaching, and Alex is making it his responsibility to keep her safe. For more information, continue reading this exciting tale.

I adore a lot of things about Belle Ami's novel The Girl Who Knew Da Vinci. First off, Bravo Belle Ami. This tale gives us a wonderful glimpse into Belle Ami's depth of artistic understanding. Excellent use of artistic language was made. Although I don't study painting, the book's writing style is really clear and simple for someone like me. There were no difficult words. The plot and character growth were excellent. The clever story turns were incredible. She transitioned beautifully from the past to the present. She alternated between the views of Giuliano Fioretta, Gerhard and Sophia, and Angela and Alex. The fact that there was absolutely no uncertainty makes me happy.

The inclusion of Italian history and culture is wonderful. I love learning about the various locations, cuisines, and historical landmarks. Even better, I was able to learn the phrase "Amore Mio," which translates to "my love," which was used the most throughout the entire novel. I'd like to travel to Italy at some point. Belle Ami has made me incredibly interested in the nation.

With the exception of the explicit scenes, there isn't much about this book that I find objectionable. They were somewhat too much, and most of the time, the author would go into details. I read without seeing any mistakes. It is therefore exceptionally edited. I give this a score of 4 out of 4 stars. I really like reading this. Likewise, I gained a lot of knowledge and developed a love for art.

I'll also recommend this to readers of historical fiction. This is absolutely excellent. Additionally, it is a quick read and not at all time-wasting. It is also appropriate for those who like art. They will get knowledge about Renaissance paintings and artists.
