Until now, Frida's handwritten letters have only been available to scholars and recently in Spanish in a book that appeared in 2016. Now, for the first time, we have over fifty of these letters in English.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAnd what a treasure. Funny, observant, and honest, they chart Kahlo's relationship with her mother—a relationship that was sometimes fraught, as with most mothers and daughters, but was always alive and honest. They begin in 1923 when Kahlo was sixteen and continue until the death of her mother in 1932. These letters tell us about Kahlo's anxieties, her feelings about her husband and friends, and above all, reveal the marvellous, critical painter's eye in her description of people and places from Mexico, San Francisco, and New York.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEdited, translated, and introduced by Dr. Hector Jaimes, Professor of Spanish at North Carolina State University (who also edited the Spanish version), \u003cem\u003eYou are Always With Me\u003c\/em\u003e is published with paintings and photographs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46847369707756,"sku":"9780349011950","price":50.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/6573023482312.jpg?v=1758938014","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.live\/products\/you-are-always-with-me-by-frida-kahlo-9780349011950","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
