Publisher's Summary

Printz Honor Book, 2018

The deep and enduring friendship between Vincent and Theo Van Gogh defined both brothers' lives. As a confidant, champion, sympathizer, and friend, Theo financially and emotionally supported his older brother as the artistic but troubled Vincent struggled to find his path in life as both a painter and a man. Throughout that struggle, the brothers shared everything - swapping stories of lovers and friends, successes and disappointments, dreams and ambitions. Drawing on the 658 letters Vincent wrote to Theo during his lifetime, Deborah Heiligman weaves a meticulously researched tale of those two intertwined lives and the extraordinary love that fueled them.

A deeply moving tale narrated well

Vincent's story has so many layers and such depth that to truly appreciate his art, you must know it. This audiobook is a good entry point for it.

Beautiful portrait of the painter and his brother. Always together of the same path….

This book was very well narrated. While Vincent’s story is well known, it was the parallel and inevitably intertwined story of his brother Theo, that made the book very interesting to listen to. It’s better than straight up reading Vincent’s letters to Theo, because of the context and storyline. Well narrated and of perfect length. i would recommend the book The Van Gogh Sisters by Willem-Jan Ver linden and off course Lust for Life by Irving Stone, for anyone looking for more on my (current) favourite European painter. Sadly neither is on Audible yet.
