The Secret Life Of Sunflowers by Malta Molnar – Fiction, 2022
When Hollywood auctioneer Emsley Wilson finds her famous grandmother’s diary the pages are full of surprises. The first surprise is that the diary actually belongs to Johanna Bonger, Vincent van Gogh’s sister-in-law. Johanna inherited Vincent van Gogh’s paintings. They were all she had and they weren’t worth anything. She was a 28 year old widow with a baby in the 1800s, without any means of supporting herself, living in Paris where she barely spoke the language. Yet she managed to introduce Vincent’s legacy to the world.
The PageTurners Book Club meets the third Tuesday of each month at 10 am in the church parlor.
