Provence, May 1889. The hospital of Saint-Paul-de Mausole is home
to the mentally ill. An old monastery, it sits at the foot of Les
Alpilles mountains amongst wheat fields, herbs and olive groves.
For years, the fragile have come here and lived quietly, found rest
behind the shutters and high, sun-baked walls. Tales of the new
arrival - his savagery, his paintings, his copper-red hair - are
quick to find the warden's wife. From her small white cottage,
Jeanne Trabuc watches him - how he sets his easel amongst the
trees, the irises and the fields of wheat, and paints in the heat
of the day. Jeanne knows the rules; she knows not to approach the
patients at Saint-Paul. But this man - paint-smelling, dirty,
troubled and intense - is, she thinks, worth talking to. So
ignoring her husband's wishes, the dangers and despite the word
mad, Jeanne climbs over the hospital wall. She will find that the
painter will change all their lives. Let Me Tell You About A Man I
Knew is a beautiful novel about the repercussions of longing, of
loneliness and of passion for life. But it's also about love - and
how it alters over time.
