Saving Vincent, A Novel of
Jo van Gogh

In the tradition of The Paris Bookseller and Her Hidden Genius the story of a real woman overshadowed in history by the giant talent she saved, Vincent van Gogh.

 

How did a failed belligerent Dutch painter become one of the greatest artists of our time? 

 

In 1891, timid Jo van Gogh Bonger lives safely in the background of her art dealer husband Theo’s passionate work to sell unknown artists, especially his ill-fated dead brother Vincent. When Theo dies unexpectedly, Jo’s brief happiness is shattered. Her inheritance—hundreds of unsold paintings by Vincent—is worthless. Pressured to move to her parents’ home, Jo defies tradition, opening a boarding house to raise her infant son alone, and choosing to promote Vincent’s art herself. But her ingenuity and persistence draw the powerful opposition of a Parisian art dealer who vows to stop her once and for all, and so sink Vincent into obscurity.

 

Saving Vincent reveals there was more than one genius in the van Gogh family.
