The first 2/3rds of the book are enthralling and historically exciting descriptions of the Florentine and Genoan art worlds and Artemesia's process in creating works. However, for some reason, in the latter 1/3rd of the book the author abandons this focus and instead turns Artemesia into a sanctimonious celebate, dragging her whiny daughter to more fantastic European art centers, but with nary a description of them or the art she creates there! This mostly ruined the book for me and the predictable, formulaic ending finished it off. There are a lot of exciting elements, but I'd just stop after Artemesia leaves Genoa.
