Here's what I wrote in 2008 about this read: "The Mexican Revolution. Long years of turmoil as epic changes came to this culture and government. Laura lives her life during these times, and eventually become traveling companion to Frida Kahlo and in the cirlce of Diego Rivera (pay attention, MGA, you run into them again soon in another powerful novel)."

I bought this book because it was set in various parts of Mexico which I already knew and I was planning a return trip. I liked it for the Mexico references and history plus the bonus of lots of Mexico-specific vocabulary. I didn't really think the story itself was fantastic. But maybe that's due to my mediocre grasp of Spanish. ( )

Horrible book. Another loser pick from Militza. This one was so bad, I couldn't finish it. About some idiot woman that has no redeeming qualities at all. She doesn't seem to have any talents for anything: hangs around artists, but doesn't really produce anything; is married to some labor leader, but she does nothing political; hangs around some philosopher types but contributes nothing; can't parent well, is not a good wife, and who knows what else. Definitely not a heroine in my book. ( )
