The Lacuna and Frida

I have been reading The Lacuna by Barbara Kingsolver a bit at a time for the last 6 weeks (in-between the other books I have been reading). The book's fictional  character becomes intertwined in the lives of Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera, and it provides a lot of factual information about them and their work. I'm enjoying the little tidbits of their real life thrown into this fictional account of a boy who grows up to be a writer and the influences these two very strong characters have in his life.
 I have always enjoyed Frida's paintings and Diego's murals, and have seen their work in numerous shows and permanent collections at different museums in the U.S. and in Mexico. I have also visited Diego's Studio and the Kahlo home (Casa Azul) in Coyoacan, Mexico. Go there if you can, a real Frida fan will find it magical.
