A poignant novel about burning passionate love and the will to live. On the rainy evening of September 17, 1925, the life of eighteen-year-old Frida Kahlo was divided into before and after: the girl was in a car accident, in which she survived only by a miracle. Bedridden and suffering from constant pain, she began to draw to distract herself. Soon she will decide to show her works to the recognized Mexican artist Diego Rivera and, together with his approval, will meet the greatest love of her life and his. Claire Berest's novel is the story of two far from ideal people, which has everything: bright shades of passion, and the dark colors of betrayal and disappointment. But there is no black among them and there never will be, just as there will be no end to the bittersweet love of Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera. Published in Russian for the first time.
