| From Library Journal The common-law wife of the great Mexican artist Diego Rivera for a decade around World War I， Angelina Beloff bore him a son (who died in infancy) and sacrificed her own talent to his. Rivera eventually returned to Mexico without her， and this slip of a book is an epistolary cri de coeur based on actual letters she sent to him from Paris in 1921-22. Fleshed out by Poniatowska's imaginative re-creation of Beloff's pain and passion， the letters reveal a woman struggling to survive the loss of a child， abandonment by an adored companion， and the prospect of failure in her artistic life. A minor work by a prize-winning Mexican writer. L. M. Lewis， Social Science Dept.， Eastern Kentucky Univ.， RichmondCopyright 1986 Reed Business Information， Inc.
