‘No author has yet captured Frida’s tragic life in words as sensually and passionately as this’ Grazia

WINNER OF ELLE FRANCE’S GRAND PRIX DES LECTRICES.

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.
