Leaving Van Gogh by Carol Wallace

Take a trip back to Paris in the 1890's when you read this historical fiction novel based on the life of the painter Van Gogh. The author used research from her thesis in art history to write the book so many of the details are true. Gives insight on how talented Van Gogh was. Unfortunately it was not widely recognized during his lifetime and his mental illness was not diagnosed/treated.
