Frida and her husband Blake have chosen not to have children. Concentrating on her artistic career instead, Frida has mostly managed to accept this difficult decision while putting her own traumatic childhood behind her. That is, until a stranger knocks on their door with a child she insists is Blake’ s daughter. From that moment on their fragile marriage, their lives are devastatingly changed forever.
In Frida, Deirdre Simon Dore’ s evocative writing has created a difficult, blunt and vitally genuine “ reluctant mother.” A contemporary novel of a woman whose relationships are an exercise in hilarity and tragedy both.
