Mrs Van Gogh - Caroline Cauchi

In 1890, Vincent Van Gogh dies penniless, unknown, a man tortured by his own mind.

Eleven years later his work is exhibited in Paris and his unparalleled talent finally recognised. The tireless efforts of one woman gave the world one of its greatest creative minds.

But twenty-eight year old Johanna Van Gogh-Bonger, Vincent’s sister-in-law and the keeper of his immense collection of paintings, sketches and letters, has, until now, been written out of history. This beautiful, moving novel finally gives this extraordinary woman a voice…

I enjoyed this book, though I think I would probably enjoyed it more if I hadn't just read The Secret Life of Sunflowers by Marta Molnar, which in my opinion is the superior novel.

Read for the Shelf Reflection's Reading Challenge.
Prompt 20: A book that takes place somewhere you've been.
