3.0
This book is written by the son a French man who had a brief but meaningful relationship with Frida during her time in France in 1938-39.
I always think it's fascinating to recount stories based on different points of view, they became completely new and that is what I felt while reading this.
Being from Mexico, this is not one of the tales of Frida Kahlo we know and its nice that after all these years we can still be introduced to parts of her life.
This is a quick read, where you can see a bit of the artists state of mind while in Paris, how the surrealist social group worked and peoples perspective on the impending war.
It's a charming tale of a Mexican artist lost in all the good and the bad of foreign costumes
