Book Reviews of Frida
Book Review: Great novel!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I thought Frida by Barbara Mujica was a fantastic book. It used such a creative and interesting approach to tell the story of Frida. You have to realize that this is not a novel and is not attempting to be a biography. Using her "sister" to tell the story really drew me in as a reader and kept me engaged. I really look forward to checking out some of Mujica's other books.
Summary of Frida
Narrated by Frida Kahlo's younger sister, Cristina, this haunting and powerful fictional account chronicles Kahlo's life, from a childhood shadowed by polio to the accident at eighteen that left her barren, from her marriage to larger-than-life muralist Diego Rivera through her tragic decline into alcoholism and drug abuse. Through it all, Cristina is her sister's intimate confidante - and then her bitter antagonist when she has a not-so-secret affair with Rivera.A towering tale of love, jealousy, betrayal, and sibling rivalry played out on a teeming canvas, Frida captures the essence of a passionate, tormented, and ferociously gifted woman. It is a compelling and intensely human portrait of an artist who would become an enduring icon for generations to come.
"Vivid . . . Burns with dramatic urgency." (The New York Times Book Review)
