He died two days later, at the age of thirty-seven, largely unknown despite having completed over two thousand works of art that would go on to become some of the most important and valued in the world.In this riveting novel, Carol Wallace brilliantly navigates the mysteries surrounding the master artists death, relying on meticulous research to paint an indelible portrait of Van Goghs final days-and the friendship that may or may not have destroyed him. Telling Van Goghs story from an utterly new perspective-that of his personal physician, Dr. Gachet, specialist in mental illness and great lover of the arts-Wallace allows us to view the legendary painter as weve never seen him before. In our narrators eyes, Van Gogh is an irresistible puzzle, a man whose mind, plagued by demons, poses the most potentially rewarding challenge of Gachets career.Wallaces narrative brims with suspense and rich psychological insight as it tackles haunting questions about Van Goghs fate. A masterly, gripping novel that explores the price of creativity, Leaving Van Gogh is a luminous story about what it means to live authentically, and the power and limits of friendship.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51882381869344,"sku":"NEW1400068797","price":29.87,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/51FSxjuaiFL.jpg?v=1781844769","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/leaving-van-gogh-a-novel-1400068797","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
