Secret Lives of Sunflowers by Marta Molnar

 

The Secret Life of Sunflowers is a dual-timeline historical fiction novel that tells the story of Vincent van Gogh through the eyes of his sister-in-law, Johanna Bonger, interwoven with a modern-day plot about an American woman, Emsley Wilson, who discovers Johanna's diary. 

The book explores themes of art, resilience, and female empowerment as Johanna, a widow, works to make Vincent's art famous, while Emsley navigates her own life challenges and finds inspiration in Johanna's story.
