Let Me Tell You About A Man I Knew
von Susan Fletcher

Bewertet mit 3 Sternen

As a former Art student I'm always drawn ( ha! ) to books exploring the life of an artist. It seems that these story plop up even more these last years and I couldn't be happier. Yes some parts may be fiction, but well researching writers transport me right back in time, making me ache to paint again, myself. The Story of Van Gogh, told from another view, not his own, but an ordinary girls, was really captivating. What I knew of Van Gogh was very meager. A depressive man, cutting off his ear, living poorly, writing letters to his brother. Now I feel as if I know a lot more about the man who used to eat yellow paint to feel happiness. Fletcher got my heart. A big thanks to Virago and Netgalley for approaching me with this title
