Bookface Friday
Frida by ClaireFrida by Claire#bookface Berest
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 Coyoacan, 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.
