THE SECRET BOOK OF FRIDA KAHLO

The Secret Book of Frida Kahlo A Novel by F. G. Haghenbeck Translated by Achy Obejas - Frida Kahlo was passionate and magical and colorful and mysterious. This book explores her life as a relationship with death, food and art.  Each chapter is quite self-contained, and at the end of each chapter are recipes from Frida's Hierba Santa Book.  This is a nice way to learn about Frida. Since Frida was so much about what you see, it might enhance your experience of reading the book to google-image Frida's self portraits as well as her day of the dead offerings.  The more I read, the more I liked.
