Descripción

"One of Mexico's most celebrated novelists, F. G. Haghenbeck, offers a beautifully written reimagining of Frida Kahlo's life and loves. When several notebooks were recently discovered among Frida Kahlo's belongings at her home in Coyoacán, Mexico City, Haghenbeck was inspired to write this fictional account of her life. Haghenbeck imagines that after Frida nearly died in a traffic accident, she received one of the notebooks as a gift from her lover Tina Modotti. Frida called the notebook the Hierba Santa Book (The Sacred Herbs Book) and filled it with memories, ideas, and recipes.

Haghenbeck takes readers on a journey through Frida's passionate life, her long and complex relationship with Diego Rivera, the development of her art, her multifaceted personality, her desire for experience, and her advocacy for feminism. This narrative also details her significant relationships with Georgia O'Keeffe, Leon Trotsky, Nelson Rockefeller, Ernest Hemingway, John Dos Passos, Henry Miller, and Salvador Dalí. Combining rich prose with recipes from the Hierba Santa Book, Haghenbeck tells the extraordinary story of a woman whose life was as remarkable as her art."
