[Following is a volunteer review of "The Girl Who Loved Caravaggio" by Belle Ami.]
The Girl Who Loved Caravaggio is an art novel about the life of Michelangelo Merisi da, Caravaggio, a painter from the 1606s. Caravaggio's life was turned upside down when he killed a man named Raccunio in a duel. Caravaggio became a fugitive after that, fleeing from one location to another.
Alex Caine and Angela Renatus are art detectives and lovers in the present day. Alex Caine used to be a Navy SEAL. He still suffers from PTSD from the war after leaving the Navy. Angela Renatus is a psychic who has visions of her past romantic relationships. After successfully completing a case, they are tasked by the Uffizi gallery to locate Caravaggio's greatest painting, The Nativity. Follow along as they piece together history during their investigation. Bella Ami's The Girl Who Loved Caravaggio is well worth your time.
I love the author's writing style here. The transitions from the past to the present are so smooth that a reader will not be confused. I also enjoy her descriptions of various locations, events, foods, and historical arts. I enjoyed reading this novel because I learned a lot from it. Furthermore, I had no idea Italy was a place of art and the like. It is an excellent addition to my knowledge. Similarly, I appreciate how the author specifically mentioned each artist. The details gave us an idea about them, even though this story is not about them.
Alex and Angela have wonderful chemistry. It's wonderful to have someone who will always be there for you when you're at your lowest. I was relieved to learn at the end that Caravaggio later reconciled with his lover, Fillide. After all that he's been through, he deserves a chance at happiness. I'd love to visit Italy and Rome to see some of the artworks described here.
The use of profanity in this book was somewhat offensive, but that's understandable given that it's an adult book. The adult scenes were also very explicit. However, this did not stop me from enjoying the story. As a result, I give this 4 out of 4 stars. Similarly, I discovered no errors while reading. As a result, it's flawlessly edited.
I'll recommend it to history buffs. This novel is both a historical novel and a romance novel. It is appropriate for those looking for a romantic novel. This is unquestionably for them. Although it is part of a series, it can be read as a standalone. Because of the adult content, young adults should avoid this.
