About this audiobook

Apasionada, contradictoria, politicamente comprometida, artista extraordinaria, todos estos calificativos se aplican a Frida Kahlo, pintora mundialmente conocida e icono cultural, quien tuvo una vida marcada por los extremismos. Lisiada por la polio y esteril a causa de un accidente casi mortal que sufrio a los dieciocha anos, se caso con otra destacada figura cultural, el muralista Diego Rivera. Su historia, llena de pasion, amor, celos, y enganos, cautivo por igual la imaginacion de sus coetaneos y de sus multiples biografos. Este relato, narrado desde la perspectiva de su hermana menor Cristina, quien siempre vivio a su sombra, aporta muchos detalles poco conocidos de la ninez y el entorno familiar de Frida Kahlo. Por una parte es un absorbente relato de vitalidad entre dos hermanas que competian por el afecto de Rivera y, por la otra, una fascinante historia de Mexico en la primera mitad del siglo XX, con personajes como Leon Trotski, Andre Breton, las deslumbrantes actrices Maria Felix y Dolores del Rio y los demas pintores de la epoca, Alfaro Siqueiros o Lupe Marin, la primera mujer de Diego Rivera.

    Barbara Mujica debería pensar en escribir ficción. Tiene bastante talento y estructura. No sé qué tan objetiva sean todos los detalles que aparecen en la biografía pero definitivamente tiene el don de la narración.

    Excelente. Creemos saber mucho sobre Frida y Diego pero en este libro los tenemos vivos. La lectura fue más que bien.

    Cristina, younger sister of the famous Mexican painter Frida Kahlo, is talking to her psychiatrist. In telling her story, she recounts the relationship between Frida and herself from childhood through adulthood as well presenting a picture of her home and family life.It’s not that this story is well written or close to the truth, but rather it’s the way that it’s told. What an interesting point of view! The author must have had a wonderful time thinking up the psychological relationship between the bizarre painter Frida Kahlo and her younger sister who ended up having an affair with Frida’s husband, the renowned Mexican muralist Diego Rivera. What fun to think about and present Cristina’s story! This is an entertaining read which will bring about in its readers a desire to learn more truth about the life of “Frida” and seek nonfiction books to bring this unusual woman to life

    I found this book quite engaging, and it has heightened my fascination with the life of Frida Kahlo. After reading this well-written biographical fiction, I'd like to read a non-fiction biography of this spirited artist.
