The Tuscan vineyard scene is the most memorable for me.

I loved the climax of the book where Angela, Sophia and Fioretta together kills the Alberto Scordato. It seems to me the most important scene of the book.

That was my favourite scene as well. I also enjoyed close friendship of Fiorreta and Leonardo.

I enjoyed every aspect of the expecially it flow and how the characters are developed. However, the link between the different timeline is actually appealing to every reader.

There are many different scenes that come to mind that could be my favorite when I reflect on this book. But to name one I think that would be the ending of the book when Fioretta, Sophie, Garhard and Guiliano all joined forces so to speak and killed the men that killed them as well as the men that were currently a threat to Angela and Alex. I think that was a great way of showing the effect of Fioretta and Guialino's undying love.

I really liked that too.

The scene at the restaurant, Il San Lorenzo, on the Via dei Chiavari, near the Campo de’Fiori piazza.
The description of the food, wine and ambience was appealing.

But the meeting between Angela and Fioretta, the daughter of Sophia and Giorgio really got me. As she was described as having Alzheimers it seemed believable that she would be able to remember something from her childhood as though it was yesterday. I felt like the quote at the beginning of the book alluded to that.
Through the dream Angela seemed to be the intermediary between Sophia and Fioretta, allowing
Sophia to be able to assure her daughter that she was loved and forgiven. From what Lucrezia had revealed to
Angela about Sophia I got the impression that the grief she felt with the loss of Gerhard and the intense love and fear she felt for Fioretta made her seem quite harsh. It was very emotional.

bookowlie wrote: 06 Jun 2018, 19:47 I would say the scene in the Getty Museum where Alex found Angela talking to the Medici painting. It was very unexpected and magical that the man in the painting opened his eyes, turned his face, and looked at Angela. After a flash of light came out of the painting, Angela told Alex in Italian that she loved him and kissed him. This was despite Alex being a stranger to her. Although I admit I rolled my eyes a little, the scene was vividly described and I felt like I was right there. Once I read this scene, I started thinking the book would make a good movie.
This scene, although not my favorite, was wonderfully written and incredibly descriptive, so I do agree that this was one of the most memorable.

However, my favorite scene was the ending scene with everyone finding the painting. I loved how she had described all of the reincarnations being present. There was so much action with Scordato and Enrico, so much build up to what was inevitably going to happen, it was wonderful! I was drinking it all up like the last gulp of water I would ever take for as long as I live 😂

I liked Alex in his pursuit of the stolen painting. This created suspense as to whether he would succeed. Fortunately enough, he recovers the lost painting.

I think that my favorite scene has to be when Angela meets and then connects with Fioretta, Sophia’s daughter. It was so wonderful when they held each other after the memory of Fioretta as a little girl. I think I loved it so much because Fioretta finally got confirmation that Sophia still loved her.

My favorite scene is the initial meeting of Fioretta Gorini and Giuliano de Medici. However, I thought that the scene was too similar to the initial meeting of Elizabeth Bennet and Fitzwilliam Darcy in Jane Austen's "Pride and Prejudice."

I just googled Giuliano Medici and it turns out he really had a illegitimate son with his mistress Fioretta, and his son grew up to become Pope Clement VII.
That's what I call some well done authorial research.
