17 year old Tara McClusky s life is hard. She shares the care of her paralysed father with her domineering, difficult mother, forced to cut down on her hours at school to help support the family with a part-time rest home job. She s very much alone, still grieving the loss of her older sister Van, who died five years before. Her only source of consolation is her obsession with art and painting in particular. Most especially she is enamoured with Vincent Van Gogh- she has read all his letters and finds many parallels between the tragic story of his life and her own. Luckily she meets the intelligent, kindly Professor Max Stockhamer (a Jewish refugee and philosopher) and his grandson Johannes, and their support is crucial to her ability to survive this turbulent time.
Mandy Hager in the book Dear Vincent talks about heavy subject like suicide and
complicated relationships between parents and children, but in a way that it
doesn't leve you completely devastated. Dear Vincent is a YA novel, but in my
opinion anyone can read it.
Nail polish is from Catrice and it's the most gorgeous colour, a mix between
red and pink with the name Raspberry Fields Forever. Of course now it's
discontinued because Catrice has completely new line out, but I'm sure you
could find a similar colour there. The application is so smooth, really this
nail polish is pure perfection.
Have a great day!
