    This diary gives us a real view into the mind of this incredible artist. We are able to see her thought process, and feel the weight of her emotions throughout the events that shaped her life. Even if you cannot read spanish, the power in her pieces speak volumes. There are translations in the back of the book, but I have never read them because I feel like I would almost lose something. This diary is an amazing piece of artwork in itself, and I read through it whenever I need inspiration.

    After reading a few pages, I just couldn't anymore. I felt like I was invading her privacy.
    But, I read on, and it is one of the most beautiful books I have. I recommend anyone who adores and love Frida to get this book.
