PGI Book Group - The Secret Life of Sunflowers
About this event
May’s book group read is The Secret Life of Sunflowers by Marta Molnar.
Description from GoodReads.com:
When Hollywood auctioneer Emsley Wilson finds her famous grandmother’s diary while cleaning out her New York brownstone, the pages are full of surprises. The first surprise is, the diary isn’t her grandmother’s. It belongs to Johanna Bonger, Vincent van Gogh’s sister-in-law.
Johanna inherited Vincent van Gogh’s paintings. They were all she had, and they weren’t worth anything. She was a 28 year old widow with a baby in the 1800s, without any means of supporting herself, living in Paris where she barely spoke the language. Yet she managed to introduce Vincent’s legacy to the world.
The inspiration couldn’t come at a better time for Emsley. With her business failing, an unexpected love turning up in her life, and family secrets unraveling, can she find answers in the past?
Available in Kindle format, audiobook, and paperback, you can purchase the book on Amazon or other online stores. Charlotte County Library’s copies are currently checked out or on hold.
Even if you don’t have a chance to read the book but want to join in the fun, feel free to attend! If you have any questions, please contact Sandi Snyder. (Must log in to view Sandi's contact info.)
Happy reading!
