Frida

“I Paint My Own Reality, Not My Dreams or Nightmares.”

Who was Frida Kahlo? She was a world-famous painter, a communist, a feminist, a lover and, above all, a sister. In Frida, you will read the life story of the famous painter through the eyes of his younger sister Cristina. Like Frida, who created her own reality in her paintings, Cristina creates her own reality while telling about her sister and takes the readers on a magical journey.

Bárbara Mujica puts Cristina and Frida Kahlo at the center of the novel and presents us with a love story full of jealousy, betrayal and rivalry between siblings; It mirrors the mind of a woman who is passionate, has suffered throughout her life, and is extraordinarily talented.

“One of the best examples of the fictional biography genre: A novel that is full, enthusiastic and cleverly written in terms of reflecting the psychology of the protagonist.”

-Kirkus Reviews-

“Vivid… It stirs emotions with every sentence.”

-The New York Times-

“A fascinating account of the life and death of Frida Kahlo.”

-Grand Rapids Press-

“The Frida described by Mujica is a brave and foul-mouthed child; Even though he defies everything, he wins everyone's love.”

-The San Diego Union-Tribune-
