Saving Vincent
2025
This captivating novel will draw you in and hold you through its last word. I opened my copy of Saving Vincent on a long airplane flight and couldn’t stop reading.
Joan Fernandez deftly and eloquently captures the colors of Jo van Gogh’s world, where this captivating young woman faces the unique chaos and promise of a new century with courage and determination. I loved reading about the clash between classical and modern art, the political disharmony, the changing roles of men and women, how new inventions were upending established ways of life. But most of all, I loved Saving Vincent’s heroine, an ordinary young woman who triumphs over obstacles placed in her path, both by society and by her nemesis, a man with a hidden wound.
It’s an unknown tale of resilience, a beautiful coming-of-age story, a must-read.
