Meet the courageous Mrs Annie Edson Taylor. The bravest woman you've never heard of and the first person to go over Niagara Falls in a barrel – over a decade before any male daredevil had the balls to do the same! From the author of the bestselling Heather's Picks title Mrs Van Gogh: a gripping historical novel inspired by a true story.

1888 zieht die Niederländerin Johanna Bonger nach Paris. Sie saugt das dortige Savoir Vivre auf und fällt durch ihren scharfen Verstand und ihr Kunstverständnis auf. Als sie den Galeristen Theo van Gogh heiratet, ist sie aus der pulsierenden Pariser Bohème nicht mehr wegzudenken. Gemeinsam mit Theos jüngerem Bruder, dem hochtalentierten, aber mittellosen Maler Vincent van Gogh, bilden die drei ein intellektuelles Gespann. Doch dann stirbt Vincent, und sein nahezu unbekanntes Werk droht in der Versenkung zu verschwinden. Das kann und wird Johanna auf keinen Fall zulassen.

Quando Johanna Bonger arriva a Parigi non ha idea di cosa possa riservarle il destino: in fuga dalla bigotta Amsterdam dopo una relazione clandestina con un uomo che non l'avrebbe mai sposata, con l'onta dello scandalo che la segue come un'ombra, si rifugia dall'amato fratello, decisa a perseguire la sua vocazione artistica.

This stunning novel tells the true story of the woman behind one of the world’s greatest artists, Vincent Van Gogh. In 1890, Vincent Van Gogh dies penniless, unknown, a man tortured by his own mind. Eleven years later his work is exhibited in Paris and his unparalleled talent finally recognised. The tireless efforts of one woman gave the world one of its greatest creative minds. But twenty-eight-year-old Johanna Van Gogh-Bonger, Vincent’s sister-in-law and the keeper of his immense collection of paintings, sketches and letters, has, until now, been written out of history.
