Mexican artist Frida Kahlo adored adventure. In November, 1930, she was thrilled to realize her dream of traveling to the United States to live in San Francisco, Detroit, and New York. Still, leaving her family and her country for the first time was monumental. Only 23 and newly married to the already world-famous 43-year-old Diego Rivera, she was at a crossroads in her life and this new place, one filled with magnificent beauty, horrific poverty, racial tension, anti-Semitism, ethnic diversity, bland Midwestern food, and a thriving music scene, pushed Frida in unexpected directions.

Learning about this artist and her contribution to art interesting, however, I found that the story was delivered in a flat and simplistic manner. Facts with no analytical development. This is a woman who has much inner turmoil and there was very limited discussion of how this impacted her view of the world, her relationship with others and her work.
Her life was driven by events that happened to her and to a large extent her responses were ineffective in making positive change. She is a depressed and self absorbed woman. The social commentary is ever present and seems exaggerated and designed to sell books.
I look forward to learning more about this artist and will look for material that more fully develops this life.

Reference Material Needed but good
Revisado: 02-09-21
Enjoyed the listen Hoped for some dialogue about the verses but always nice to be reminded of the rich text in the bible.
A reference that listed the scriptures and location would be nice accompaniment to this

Part love story, part historical epic, part tragedy, The House of Special Purpose illuminates an empire at the end of its reign. Living in England with his beloved wife, Zoya, Georgy prepares to make one final journey back to the Russia he once knew and loved, the Russia that both destroyed and defined him. As Georgy remembers days gone by, we are transported to Saint Petersburg, to the Winter Palace of the tzar, in the early twentieth century - a time of change, threat, and bloody revolution.

Pino Lella wants nothing to do with the war or the Nazis. He's a normal Italian teenager - obsessed with music, food, and girls - but his days of innocence are numbered. When his family home in Milan is destroyed by Allied bombs, Pino joins an underground railroad helping Jews escape over the Alps, and falls for Anna, a beautiful widow six years his senior. In an attempt to protect him, Pino's parents force him to enlist as a German soldier - a move they think will keep him out of combat.

If you have too much time on your hands listen

Is there anything you would change about this book?
Interesting story, seems author took too many liberties making story trite and offensive.
Would like knowing the character and events just put together differently so that there is reality to story.
Would you recommend Beneath a Scarlet Sky to your friends? Why or why not?
Unlikely many times considered not going on w book did finish but took effort
Would you listen to another book narrated by Will Damron?
Probably
Could you see Beneath a Scarlet Sky being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?
Yes
