In December 1878, Vincent van Gogh arrives in the coal-mining village of Petit Wasmes in the Borinage region of Belgium, a blasted and hopeless landscape of hovels and slag heaps and mining machinery. In The Season of Migration, Nellie Hermann conjures this period in a profoundly imaginative, original, and heartbreaking vision of Van Gogh’s early years, before he became the artist we know today among novels about Vincent Van Gogh. Though Vincent van Gogh is one of the most popular painters of all time, we know very little about a ten-month period in the painter’s youth when he and his brother, Theo, broke off all contact. A gem among novels about vincent Van Gogh. But it’s also about love – and how it alters over time. Let Me Tell You About A Man I Knew is a beautiful novel about the repercussions of longing, of loneliness and of passion for life. She will find that the painter will change all their lives. So ignoring her husband’s wishes, the dangers and despite the word mad, Jeanne climbs over the hospital wall. But this man – paint-smelling, dirty, troubled and intense – is, she thinks, worth talking to. Jeanne knows the rules she knows not to approach the patients at Saint-Paul. From her small white cottage, Jeanne Trabuc watches him – how he sets his easel amongst the trees, the irises and the fields of wheat, and paints in the heat of the day. Tales of the new arrival – his savagery, his paintings, his copper-red hair – are quick to find the warden’s wife. For years, the fragile have come here and lived quietly, found rest behind the shutters and high, sun-baked walls. An old monastery, it sits at the foot of Les Alpilles mountains amongst wheat fields, herbs and olive groves. The hospital of Saint-Paul-de Mausole is home to the mentally ill. Let Me Tell You About A Man I Knew – Susan FletcherĪ much-loved book among novels about vincent Van Gogh.
