    Book SynopsisThis book draws all the emotions out of you. I went from tears to snorting with laughter. It was both lighthearted and heart breaking, yet it inspires me to live my best life! Michelle CoxWhen 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 book was so much more than I had expected, and I had high expectations... one of the most beautiful stories I''ve read in years. Kaela StokesIt touched something in my soul. Audrey McDonald

    Book Synopsis“I loved I Am You in a way that’s different from other books I have loved. Victoria Redel masterfully evokes the rich period of Golden Age Amsterdam and the centrality of its artists. Against this vivid and brilliantly detailed backdrop, the story of a female painter and her assistant comes to life, captivating us with its insights on time, art, sexual politics, class, women’s rights, and how we tell and retell our histories. It is spellbinding, wonderfully atmospheric, and impossible to forget.” —Sarah Jessica Parker, SJP Lit“Myself, a constant transformation—girl child to boy servant to budding girl, maid to painter to lover, every shift managed for a purpose. For Maria. For our future.” An unforgettable love story about sex, art, and politics in 1600s Amsterdam.At age eight, Gerta Pieters is dressed as a boy and put to work in the service of the Oosterwijcks, a genteel Dutch family. When Gerta catches the eye of the young Maria Oosterwijck, Gerta’s asked to accompany her to Amsterdam, where Maria will study under a noteworthy Dutch artist.In Amsterdam, Maria rises in the ranks of society as a prodigy of still life painting. From the shadows, Gerta watches her ascension and learns to make herself invaluable to Maria in more ways than one. As their relationship evolves, Gerta may come to be more intrinsic to Maria’s personal life—and her art—than even she could have imagined.Inspired by the little that is known about skilled still life painter Maria van Oosterwijck’s life, I Am You is a love story, a meditation on gender, and an ode to artistic creation. Victoria Redel’s novel brings to life the copious spoils of Amsterdam’s Golden Age, and the perils that lay hidden within them for women like Maria and Gerta.
