This is the story of Diego and Frida who couldn't live without each other.

They meet at a party. She knows everything about him, about his mythology, and he knows nothing of her, she is nobody.

He is Mexico's greatest artist. She drinks like a sailor, wears flowers in her hair, talks openly about sex, loves attending protests and parties to wake the dead. She is from Coyoacán, twenty years his junior and with a broken spine to boot.

Even when her body is wracked with pain, she paints.

There were two great accidents in her life. The first was when that streetcar hit her . . . but by far the worst was meeting him.

Translated into English for the first time, Claire Berest's award-winning novel is a striking and lyrical fictional imagining of the vibrant life and tumultuous marriage of one of the world's most enigmatic and beloved artists: Frida Kahlo. Perfect for fans of The Artist, The Safekeep, Tracy Chevalier and Ali Smith.
