This is the story of Diego and Frida, who couldn't live without each other.

They meet at a party. She knows everything about him, about his mythology, and he knows nothing of her, she is nobody.

He is Mexico's greatest artist. She drinks like a sailor, wears flowers in her hair, talks openly about sex, loves attending protests and parties to wake the dead. She is from Coyoacán, twenty years his junior and with a broken spine to boot.

Even when her body is wracked with pain, she paints.

There were two great accidents in her life. The first was when that streetcar hit her . . . but by far the worst was meeting him.

Translated into English for the first time, Claire Berest's award-winning novel is a striking fictional imagining of the vibrant life and tumultuous marriage of one of the world's most beloved artists: Frida Kahlo.

Eleştirmen yorumları

Like wandering through a painting - riotous with colour, overflowing with imagery. I had moments where I almost had to stop reading to take a breath, but it captures something of Frida herself that feels totally right. If you want to be absolutely steeped in her world, you'll love it (Emily Howes, author of The Painter's Daughters)
The portrait of a fascinating, eccentric, and indomitable woman . . . an incandescent novel
No author has yet captured Frida's tragic life in words as sensually and passionately as this
Claire Berest writes as captivatingly and vividly as Frida Kahlo painted
[Berest] recounts the passion, art and torment of this long-suffering painter, a magician of colours and priestess of liberated femininity
