Outstanding and eye opening. I appreciated how the author complied the letters with connections to the sketches and pieces created at that time in van Gough's life. The beginning is organized well identifying the family members, friends, and important figures mentioned in the letters. That was a helpful reference. At the end there are suggestions for travel to the Provence region. The next time I see a van Gough painting live, I will have a deeper understanding. Heck, the calendar in my classroom features some paintings I learned more about in this book. A great reference book and one to explore again.
