Historical
"I'd heard about him but had never seen
him, the foreigner with the funny name who wandered the
countryside painting pictures." F rom
a talented new author comes a poignant and haunting novel of
creation and desire, passion and madness, art and love.
A young prostitute seeking temporary refuge from the
brothel, Rachel awakens in a beautiful garden in Arles to
discover she is being sketched by a red-haired man in a
yellow straw hat. This is no ordinary artist but the
eccentric painter Vincent van Gogh—and their meeting marks
the beginning of a remarkable relationship. He arrives at
their first assignation at No. 1, Rue du Bout d'Arles, with
a bouquet of wildflowers and a request to paint her—and
before long, a deep, intense attachment grows between Rachel
and the gifted, tormented soul. But the sanctuary
Rachel seeks from her own troubled past cannot be found
here, for demons war within Vincent's heart and mind. And
one shocking act will expose the harsh, inescapable truth
about the artist she has grown to love more than life.
