Teacher. Widow. Legend.
It’s 1901 and the mists of change are swirling. Queen Victoria’s reign is about to come to an end, and an obscure widow in Buffalo, New York, is about to attempt the impossible.
Meet the courageous Mrs Annie Edson Taylor. The bravest woman you’ve never heard of and the first person to go over Niagara Falls in a barrel —over a decade before any man dared to do the same.
Enter a world of lost fortunes and friendship, as Annie, grieving the past and determined to change the lives of the women around her, attempts to alter the course of history.
With a single jump, that is.

"1888 zieht die Niederländerin Johanna Bonger nach Paris. Sie saugt das dortige Savoir Vivre auf und fällt durch ihren scharfen Verstand und ihr Kunstverständnis auf. Als sie den Galeristen Theo van Gogh heiratet, ist sie aus der pulsierenden Pariser Bohème nicht mehr wegzudenken. Gemeinsam mit Theos jüngerem Bruder, dem hochtalentierten, aber mittellosen Maler Vincent van Gogh, bilden die drei ein intellektuelles Gespann. Doch dann stirbt Vincent, und sein nahezu unbekanntes Werk droht in der Versenkung zu verschwinden. Das kann und wird Johanna auf keinen Fall zulassen …"
"“As intricate and absorbing as a Van Gogh painting…MRS VAN GOGH will stay with me for a long time.” New York Times bestseller Hazel Gaynor
“All the characters jump off the page…what we have here is a very fine novel.” Historical Novel Society
She’s been painted out of history…until now
Who tells her story?
In 1890, Vincent Van Gogh dies penniless, unknown, a man tortured by his own mind.
Eleven years later his work is exhibited in Paris and his unparalleled talent finally recognised. The tireless efforts of one woman gave the world one of its greatest creative minds.
But twenty-eight year old Johanna Van Gogh-Bonger, Vincent’s sister-in-law and the keeper of his immense collection of paintings, sketches and letters, has, until now, been written out of history. This beautiful, moving novel finally gives this extraordinary woman a voice…
