Dearest Aunt Frida: Today we commemorate half a century of your depature. You were then forty-seven years old, I am seventy-five
That is how this book begins, a book that contains the memoirs of Mrs. Isolda Pinedo Kahlo, the niece of Mexican painter Frida Kahlo y Calderón. Isolda is the last direct survivor of the Kahlo dynasty. What more is there to say? What is there to be concealed? How does one tell the truth without violating confidentiality? How can one be the guardian angel of Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera? These are some of the questions that silently permeate the body of this book.
