Sunflowers

From a talented new author comes a poignant and haunting novel of creation and desire, passion and madness, art and love. A young prostitute seeking temporary refuge from the brothel, Rachel awakens in a beautiful garden in Arles to discover she is being sketched by a red-haired man in a yellow straw hat. This is no ordinary artist but the eccentric painter Vincent van Gogh–and their meeting marks the beginning of a remarkable relationship. He arrives at their first assignation at No. 1, Rue du Bout d'Arles, with a bouquet of wildflowers and a request to paint her–and before long, a deep, intense attachment grows between Rachel and the gifted, tormented soul.
