Fiction
Frida Kahlo and the Colours of Life
by Caroline Bernard
Description
Mexico, 1925: Seventeen-year-old Frida wants to become a doctor, until a terrible bus accident shatters her dream. Then she falls in love with Diego Rivera, a painter of genius, and finds herself immersed in the world of art. He encourages her artistic ambitions – and he betrays her. Frida is deeply hurt, but – knowing that happiness is merely hidden, not gone – she embraces life with open arms. Eventually she has the Parisian Surrealists at her feet, as well as Picasso and Trotsky. Frida always forges her own path, whether she’s celebrating artistic successes or experiencing the trauma of a miscarriage – until one day she’s presented with a choice that calls into question everything she once believed.

Reviews
»A love letter to art, to femininity, to freedom and the courage to seize it anew every single day – a wonderfully delicate yet powerful book about the human heart.« Nina George
