You had me on this review until you said you don't normally like paranormal in books. I read a lot of supernatural and paranormal, so this is difficult for me to relate to. The rest of it sounds like an interesting concept on its own, though, and the review makes me think I would enjoy this book.

Will Angela find the lost painting? I am very curious. A book that excellently mixes romance and mystery. Also, the cover is a work of art. I am interested in reading it. Thanks for the review.

The author's talent for imagery is unique as I was able to soak in the beautiful scenery. The descriptions give special meaning to every phrase. Nice review.

I adore the use of characters from different eras to build a credible narrative. This book will appeal to readers who appreciate art and science fiction and paranormal genres.

The very title grips your attention as the great legend has been mentioned-Da Vinci.The story is entwined between three eras and very slyly the writer jumps from one timeline to another clearing the mystries at each interval.One awaits for what the futute holds.The picturesque beauty of Europe has been well narrated.

I love mystery and suspense. Da Vinci is one of the most reknown artists. This book has elements that make it worthy of reading. I would also love to catch up on it as well. Thanks for the heads-up.

I thought The Girl Who Knew da Vinci by Belle Ami was very well written and it was gripping from the moment I started reading it. From the very first few pages, the reader is brought into the world of fine art and the life of Angela. This book was not filled with lust and vulgarity but it was definitely a love story between the two main characters. Not only a love story in current times but one that lasted over centuries. As someone who believes in past lives it was amazing to read as the characters met up in different centuries. As the characters from the past resurface to help with the present time the reader is left wanting more. The book was very engrossing and as it ended I was definitely left wanted to know more about the lives of Angela and Alex. I would give this book four stars, a must read.

I love a good historical novel that involves art, but your description--that there is a bit of paranormal in the story-- elevates this one to a new level. I wondered at the beginning why it didn't get a full four out of four, but i appreciate your keen observations about the errors, and especially the note that they had been fixed. Thank you!
