DID NOT FINISH: 31%

Really boring, which is surprising, because her earlier novel on Katherine Paar was excellent.

’Well I have nothing for her to steal.’ She makes a cynical laugh. ‘All I have is my talent.’‘
And your virtue.’ He makes a sarcastic snort.
‘How could I forget my precious virtue?’

a slow-paced historical (fictionalized!!!) reimagining of female renaissance painter artemisia gentileschi, who i knew nothing about before reading this book. i enjoyed looking up the paintings as they were described throughout the book. the painting and art scenes might be the best parts! i found the characters (especially artemisia, our protagonist) a little lackluster.

It's interesting to get an insight into
Artemisa Gentilschi's life and her extraordinary artistic talent in this novel. Artemisa‘s strength radiates from each page! 

Her paintings are extraordinary as well, I’d seen her art beforehand but  this novel gives me more appreciation for her in a different way.
