What Would Frida Do? – Arianna Davis
2**
Subtitle: A Guide to Living Boldly
This is a selection for my Hispanic book club. It’s a combination biography and self-help guide, and frankly, I could do without the self-help advice.
Frida Kahlo was a fascinating woman, and I enjoyed learning a few more tidbits about her life. Davis managed to convey some of her passion and joy for life. She was definitely a charismatic presence. I also liked how Davis notes the growing international interest in the artist so many years after her death.
However, the “lessons” Davis gains from examining Frida’s life are sometimes a bit of a stretch. And I had little interest in the self-hep advice / platitudes.
I would much rather read a straight biography of Frida Kahlo.
