On a quiet Italian mountainside, an old hermit woman has spent decades hiding from the world—and from the love that once shattered her. Her only companions are the memories she cannot silence and the paintings of Vincent Van Gogh, whose swirling skies and burning fields mirror the passion of the man who stole her heart long ago.
When Juliana, a determined young woman, arrives at the hermit’s cave on the mountain’s edge, she brings with her questions the hermit has spent a lifetime refusing to answer. As their unlikely bond deepens, the past begins to stir—haunting, relentless, and impossible to outrun.
Set against the rugged beauty of rural Italy, My Year with Vincent Van Gogh is a tale of love lost and rediscovered, of fine wine shared under trembling stars, and of an illness that swept the world and forced hearts to confront what truly matters. With a twist no reader will anticipate, this novella explores the fragile, furious power of love—and the courage it takes to face the truth.
