FRIDA (CLAIRE BEREST) (PB)

They meet at a party. He is Mexico's greatest artist. She knows everything about him, about his mythology. He knows nothing of her; she is nobody. She drinks like a sailor, wears flowers in her hair, talks openly about sex, is twenty years his junior and has a broken spine. And even when her body is wracked with pain, she paints. Translated into English for the first time, Claire Berest's award-winning novel is a striking fictional imagining of the tumultuous marriage of Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera.
