Generally an interesting well written book, though I think its title is rather misleading - it is a biography of her whole life, and that of her husband Diego Rivera, not particularly, as the title suggests, her home. The Blue House, her family home in Coyoacan, Mexico City, is, certainly judging by the daily queues to visit it, considered by Mexicans to be her home. She came back to Coyoacan throughout her life, and lived there with Diego Rivera, but in this book this famous house is illustrated with rather small pictures mostly in the penultimate chapter. Other than that, it is an enjoyable informative read, though I am not sure that it adds much to the plethera of books already published about her life.

Recomendo
Livro escrito em inglês. Belas imagens com reprodução de alguns quadros e com algumas fotografias, boa qualidade de impressão. O texto trata tanto da biografia de Frida e do local onde morou como alguma interpretação das obras apresentadas. Vale a pena! Acredito que para quem procura uma maior fonte de informações a respeito da artista o livro Frida - A Biografia seja mais completo.
