With the help of Vincent van Gogh's actual correspondence, the gripping, fast-paced novel familiarizes the reader with the biographical details of the painter's path to artistic genius.
The protagonist, Lisa, is the daughter of a Swiss millionaire and is an art history student at the University of Paris. During her thesis work and her father's re-search, Lisa gets in mystical contact with her favorite artist, Van Gogh, through his paintings.
