If you are interested in Diego Rivera or Frida Kahlo then the book will probably be interesting to you. It was a little boring to me.

This was a really good look into the life of the famous artist Frida Kahlo. The story is narrated from her younger sister Christina's perspective.
Christina is an eyewitness to the life and death of Frida Kahlo, and this book will keep you reading till the very end of her story.

Marvelous novel that I have read twice ... truly takes you into Frida's world, you can nearly taste the colours of her Mexico as you read. Breath taking!
A quick, engrossing read... unfortunately haunted by the knowledge that it's mostly fiction. To believe it is real, even potentially real, adds a great deal to the story.
