The Last Van Gogh

A historical romance novel of love, artistry, and Vincent Van Gogh's muse in 19th century France

Summer, 1890. Van Gogh arrives at Auvers-sur-Oise, a bucolic French village that lures city artists to the country. It is here that twenty-year-old Maurguerite Gachet has grown up, attending to her father and brother ever since her mother's death. And it is here that young Vincent Van Gogh will spend his last summer, under the care of Doctor Gachet--homeopathic doctor, dilettante painter, and collector. In these last days of his life, Van Gogh will create over 70 paintings, two of them portraits of Marguerite Gachet. But little does he know that, while capturing Marguerite and her garden on canvas, he will also capture her heart.

Both a love story and historical novel, The Last Van Gogh recreates the final months of Vincent's life--and the tragic relationship between a young girl brimming with hope and an artist teetering on despair.
