Review of The Girl Who Knew Da Vinci
[Following is a volunteer review of "The Girl Who Knew Da Vinci" by Belle Ami.]
In Belle Ami's captivating novel, The Girl Who Knew Da Vinci we are introduced to Angela Renatus, a young woman who experiences recurring dreams about Leonardo da Vinci and his friendship with Fioretta Gorini. Compelled by these vivid dreams, Angela diligently records the events in a journal, attempting to decipher their meaning.
Despite holding a position that was once her dream job, Angela finds herself in a hostile work environment, plagued by the sexual harassment of her boss. The constant tension has taken a toll on her well-being, making sleep an elusive luxury since starting her internship at the Getty Museum as an art historian. Her dreams, centered around Leonardo da Vinci, Fioretta's relationship with Giuliano, and a mysterious painting, leave her unsettled and on edge. However, everything takes an unexpected turn when she is contacted by Alex Caine, an art detective, who reveals that he too is on a quest to find the painting from Angela's dreams.
Within the realm of this fictional narrative, I gleaned a valuable lesson about love, the importance of taking risks, and the belief in overcoming obstacles. The audacious decision of Sophia, who flees to Florence with her German partner despite his occupation as an officer tasked with eliminating the people of Florence, exemplifies the risks we sometimes undertake for love. It was heartening to witness how love provided them with the courage to venture into unknown territory. The author skillfully crafted each character with unique personalities, adding depth to the story. The romantic aspect of the book was particularly enjoyable, as the love story between Alex and Angela unfolded. Both characters grappled with fear and vulnerability, yet their undeniable feelings compelled them to explore their connection.
From start to finish, I was engrossed in this book, and even the ending did not disappoint. The only minor disappointment I encountered was the author's decision not to pursue the reincarnation storyline, which would have added another layer of intrigue. Nonetheless, the storyline remained captivating, and the author's vivid descriptions breathed life into the events within the book.
This book was exceptionally edited as it did not contain errors. Considering its compelling characters, intriguing plot, and the absence of dull moments, I wholeheartedly rate this book 5 out of 5 stars. I was thoroughly engaged throughout my reading experience. However, I recommend this book to mature audiences due to its sexual content. Readers who appreciate a blend of romance, action, and art will find this book especially delightful.
