Review: The Timeless Influence of an Artist
Rating: 4 out of 5

This collection of short stories brings to life the lives of contemporary characters who each relate to Van Gogh's "real and painful struggle" as they face their own. Woven through the stories' themes are interesting details that illuminate Van Gogh's life and times while they compliment each protagonist's circumstances. I particularly related to Ella and Ms. M, teacher and student. The artist's impact on the author of this book is clear, and I admire the way Kelly Cole Rappleye channeled that into interesting vignettes.
