This tender novel is author Frederic Tuten's imagining of Vincent van Gogh's last months, encompassing in its beautiful passages a possible motive for the artist's legendary suicide. A true ode to van Gogh, to love, and to art, this book is essential reading for anyone who has ever been fascinated by the life and work of van Gogh. Relying as much upon historical and biographical information about the artist as it does upon the author's own imagination, this is an exploration of the mysterious territory where art and life intersect, impact, and collide with one another. As vibrant and passionate as the art of its subject, reading this book is an experience akin to viewing one of van Gogh's paintings.
