Title: Overly romantic drivel
Review: You may as well read a Nora Roberts novel - this is romantic drivel with slices of the life of Van Gogh stuck in it. Perhaps because the main (female) character is so weak that it becomes tedious and frustrating to read about her. From the author's notes about her research, it sounds like the character was based on assumptions from some facts determined during extensive overall research for the book. I complement the author on the depth of research, which she is known for. But the focus and extensiveness of heart-throbbing heavy breathing pining for her Van Gogh perhaps-if-you-believe-it lover... it diminishes the magnificence of the painter Van Gogh. Get real.If you want to read really good books about Van Gogh, there are many to choose from. Try one which includes letters to his brother and benefactor Theo, interspersed with paintings from the period in which he writes. THAT is worth reading, and gives you a true insight into the tortured and brilliant mind of Van Gogh.
