PRAISE & REVIEWS
“This beautiful book seeks the secrets of Van Gogh’s final months.”
— Vriendin Magazine
“The Last Van Gogh is a balanced symphony… Richman’s style is gentle and sober. With clear, undulating prose, that is both reminiscent of the quiet village [of Auvers] and the oppressive environment of Marguerite Gachet’s home, it is as evocative as one of Van Gogh’s paintings. Richman proves she can travel through time to recreate the past.”
— Andy Arnts, En Route Magazine
"The Last Van Gogh paints an intricate portrait of a woman's life at the end of the nineteenth century… It is a powerful and poignant story."
— Tulip Magazine, Holland
