In The Dream Collector: Book II: Sabrine and Vincent Van Gogh, RW Meek presents the captivating continuation of Sabrine's journey, set against the rich backdrop of 1880s Paris. Following a prolonged stay at the Salpetriere Asylum for Women, Sabrine, now freed through the efforts of a young Sigmund Freud and her devoted sister Julie, delves into the vibrant Parisian art scene. Here, she meets the enigmatic Vincent van Gogh, and together, they embark on a passionate, albeit tumultuous, affair fueled by their shared artistic fervor and personal demons.
This sequel explores new dimensions of Sabrine's character as she transitions from her intricate interactions with Freud to the equally complex Van Gogh. While the series blends historical fiction with elements of magical realism, it also evokes the adventurous spirit of "The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles" through its integration of historical figures and fictional narratives. Fans of art history will find much to admire here, as Meek vividly reimagines the lives of cultural icons such as Van Gogh and Freud. The portrayal of these figures is meticulously crafted, bringing an immersive authenticity to the narrative. Despite the larger-than-life personas surrounding her, Sabrine holds her own as a compelling protagonist. Her multifaceted personalityâ�"humorous yet fragile, unpredictable yet endearingâ�"ensures that she resonates deeply with readers, making her more than just a mere adjunct to the historical luminaries she encounters.
Meek's novel, The Dream Collector: Book II: Sabrine and Vincent Van Gogh, celebrates the turmoil of the creative process and offers a poignant exploration of identity and belonging through the eyes of an unforgettable heroine. This series promises to be a rewarding journey for those intrigued by the intersections of history, art, and human emotion.
