EARLY BIRD BOOK CLUB: The Secret Life of Sunflowers by Marta Molnar

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?

This group is for anyone and everyone interested in reading and talking about it. We read a variety of both fiction and non-fiction recommended titles. We meet the third Wednesday morning each month.
