Their sons have grown and left home to start their own life stories and Jeanne finds herself a little lonely and at something of a loose end. Jeanne and her husband are at a quite stage of their life. To be clear, this is very much Jeanne’s story but the arrival of VvG is definitely the catalyst that sparks a change in Jeanne during which she reflects on her own life. Not to beat about the bush the patient in question is Vincent Van Gogh and this book brings to us a fictionalised account of his time spent at the hospital in Provence following the troubled period in which he cut off part of his ear. Jeanne’s husband runs the hospital at Saint-Paul-de Mausole and the hospital is about to receive a new patient who will certainly stir things up a lot. Let Me Tell You About a Man I Knew brings to us a story about Jeanne Trabuc. Her writing is beautiful and evocative and this title is no exception.
Fletcher has a way of writing things that simply make them stand out from the page.
I first fell in love with her writing after reading Witch Light (which I think is also known as Corrag). My primary reading these days falls into the SFF bracket without doubt, however, there are certain authors that I really enjoy that step outside that field that I always want to read and Susan Fletcher is one of those authors.
