“All the characters jump off the page…what we have here is a very fine novel.” Historical Novel Society

She’s been painted out of history…until now

Who tells her story?

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…

Caroline Cauchi’s Mrs Van Gogh

I loved learning about Joanna Bonger Van Gogh and how she used her understanding of art and critical thinking skills to introduce her society to the artwork of Vincent Van Gogh. She was a woman ahead of her time and had to go head to head with male art dealers sexism, and patriarchal society. She’s an inspiration.
