Or Diego Rivera that is also a celebration of the spirit of poetry and the art of rebellion 25 starsI m a lifelong lover of Friday Kahlo Her life her ideals her work all of it alwaysSo this book intrigued me as a concept I believe that this piece originates from in a similar state of reverence and admiration giving Frida an omnipresent first person narrative with an idealistic stream of consciousness flow However it consistently and predominantly comes off as a vehicle for personal convictions and beliefs by the writerIf you re an admirer of Kahlo and want to get a better sense of her spirit skip this book and pick up a copy of her published diary instead

I really wanted to like this book I mean it's billed as a poetic re imagining of the life of Frida Kahlo; I expected a dense story with all the
Forced and incredibly self conscious I wanted to love this but really did notNo plot to speak of clearly derivative of the central autobiography of her life This really does not do her justice

Jay Griffiths has created a true portrait and merely has to call it fiction because Kahlo herself can't sign it off When I
