Review of The Girl Who Knew Da Vinci
The narrative of the past opens with two young, attractive individuals named Sophia Cora and Gerhard, who are madly in love and are planning to depart their home country of Italy in August 1944 in order to have a chance to make a home for themselves and their unborn child. Up until they arrived at a safe land, their strategy worked, and now it is up to them to survive the rest of their adventure.
Following the narrative of the past incident, the action shifts to the present and centers on Angela Renatus, an intern at the Getty Museum who is having strange dreams about Leonardo da Vinci and Fioretta Gorini and their wonderful friendship. Due to those dreams, the mornings also slowly started to witness a block-out situation where she was stuck in the transition phase. In addition, she experiences harassment at work from her senior scordato, who connected himself with Leonardo's painting, which severely stresses her and makes the whole situation more intense.
Subsequently, we learned about Detective Alex Cain, who was tasked with searching Leonardo da Vinci's paintings as part of a case. As a result of his inquiry, he witnessed Angela in an unusual scenario where she was longing for Alex and had lost herself. Because of this, Alex was left perplexed about what was happening around him and started to feel the same way that paintings had affected Angela.
Alex and Angela are now in a confused state as a result of having to deal with strange things via painting. Even though this is their first meeting, they establish a strange connection as the narrative progresses. Because of this connection, events in their surroundings and whispers from paintings helped them to realize the reality of their existence—that they are the ones in the painting and that they are reincarnations of Giuliano and Fioretta Gorini. This fact allows us to witness the tragically amazing narrative of Fioretta and Giuliano's love, which began in September of 1475 in Florence, Italy. Until their final breath, they battled against everything for one another out of love for one another.
After meeting Alex, Angela's vision began to become more vivid. Dreams or transition moments give insights into Fioretta's personality, friendship with Leonardo, and how meeting Guiliano at a party started their love relationship, which eventually turned into an unbreakable one. The main focus is on Leonard's painting, which is the only evidence of their secret wedding. This dream suggested that Alex and Angela should look for the painting since it is essential to their lives. Alex and Angela made the decision to plan the hunt for the painting and for knowing more themselves as Fioretta and Guiliano in stories after knowing of all of this, as well as the current threat to museum employees and another criminal with murky motives working behind the scenes made them to take decision quickly.
As they were delving into the journey's truths, another astounding truth began to emerge in front of them in the person of Sophia and Gerhard. They were also attempting to communicate with Angela through visions, helping her realize that they had reincarnated as them and were now living as Alex and Angela. Fioretta and Guiliano were the first to reincarnate, followed by Sophia and Gerhard and, finally, Alex and Angela. At the time, they were both incredibly delighted and horrified by this, since they could now clearly see the pattern of tragedy following love.
After everything, Alex and Angela were left with a series of challenging emotional decisions that came with more secrets and challenges. They were going through a terrifying emotional rollercoaster as a result of the truth and their fear of repeating the tragedies of past lifetimes. Nevertheless, they concluded that finding the painting and preserving it was necessary to break that tragic cycle. For the sake of their love and that of the other two incredible couples from the past, this inspired them to fight for justice one more time.
I rate this book 5 out of 5. The book's strong point is the masterfully communicated reincarnation tale, which the author conveyed to readers in a way that is understandable. The storyline, the amazing historical love tale, the enduringly compelling characters, and the seamless movement between the past and present—even throughout the transitional stages—are all masterfully done. I was utterly fascinated by this book, experiencing both exciting and unbelievable love moments. Considering that, there's nothing I don't like. The editing team is well done for providing a flawless book for a good reading experience.

Yes very true! I too loved the story narration with Swift transformation of one couple to another couple without confusion. Creating easy understandable reincarnation story is not easy and author did good job. There are another two installments from this author in same series, we should check it in some time.Stephen Christopher 1 wrote: ↑01 May 2024, 19:41 Hi Harshita, like you I loved this book and also rated it 5 out of 5 stars.
