Summary:
"México, 1935. Cuando descubre que Diego le es infiel con su hermana Cristina, Frida, que atraviesa un periodo de depresión ligado a su imposibilidad de ser madre, utiliza el dolor como inspiración para crear La mesa herida, una enigmática pintura de gran formato que años después formará parte de la primera exposición de artistas mexicanos en la Unión Soviética. Moscú, 1947. Olga, una burócrata rusa con una existencia tranquila y comprometida con el Partido, reencuentra su pasión por el arte al conocer la impactante obra de la pintora mexicana. Sin embargo, su vida dará un vuelco cuando se vea envuelta en un oscuro complot para destruir el cuadro. ¿Hasta dónde estará dispuesta a llegar para salvar el trabajo de la artista? Traiciones, heridas, robos, falsificaciones y tráfico de arte se entretejen en este emocionante thriller histórico, inspirado en hechos reales, que nos lleva a descubrir uno de los misterios más grandes de la plástica mexicana: la desaparición de una pieza única que lleva más de medio siglo perdida." -- page 4 of the cover.
"Mexico, 1935. When she discovers that Diego is unfaithful to her with her sister Cristina, Frida, who is going through a period of depression linked to her inability to be a mother, uses pain as inspiration to create The Wounded Table, an enigmatic large-format painting which years later will be part of the first exhibition of Mexican artists in the Soviet Union. Moscow, 1947. Olga, a Russian bureaucrat with a quiet existence and committed to the Party, rediscovers her passion for art when she discovers the striking work of the Mexican painter. However, her life will turn upside down when she finds herself involved in a dark plot to destroy the painting. How far will she be willing to go to save the artist's work? Betrayals, injuries, thefts, forgeries and art trafficking are interweave in this exciting historical thriller, inspired by real events, which leads us to discover one of the greatest mysteries of Mexican art: the disappearance of a unique piece that has been lost for more than half a century." -- cataloger's translation.
