In the summer of 1890, Vincent Van Gogh arrives at Auvers-sur-Oise, a bucolic French village, to spend his last summer under the care of Doctor Gachet, a homeopathic doctor, collector, and dilettante painter. It is here that he meets twenty-year-old Marguerite Gachet, who has grown up tending to her father and brother. In his final days, Van Gogh creates over 70 paintings, including two portraits of Marguerite. As he captures Marguerite and her garden on canvas, he also captures her heart. The novel is both a love story and a historical narrative that recreates the final months of Vincent's life and the tragic relationship between a young girl brimming with hope and an artist teetering on despair.
