First I want to say I did like the book. It just didn’t live up to they hype it was given. In my opinion. It was enjoyable and pretty easy read. But I lacked the up and down of a good book. It was enjoyable but seemed lacking.
I did like the dual story line. Would have liked to see some characters development. I did like the characters for the most part. Would have liked to learn more about them. There had to be more to Edith. I
I did like the fact that I was interested enough to actually look up some of the history involved in this book. Hans Frank, The Butcher of Poland who was executed in Nuremberg. Not a nice guy at all. The. the “Lady with Ermine” that was well done. When I looked up Cecilia’s portrait it listed the only four portraits painted by Da Vinci. One of them being the Mona Lisa, Lady with Ermine. Interestingly he paint a portrait of another mistress of the Duke’s Lucrezia Crivelli. Which is very interesting since she was also in the book. Ginevra de' Benci who is the only one in the public view in America. This I found and enjoyed. The author did her research as well as has some creative storytelling.
I did enjoy the book just missed the bumping road. It kept me interested and it was a pretty fast read.
