In the Blue House

Meaghan Delahunt

Hounded from country to country by Stalin's GPU agents, in January 1937 Leon Trotsky finally finds refuge in Mexico. There he encounters the fire and splendour of the artist Frida Kahlo, who with her husband Diego Rivera welcomes Trotsky and his wife Natalia into the Blue House at Coyoaca

Meaghan Delahunt's breathtaking first novel unravels the passions and betrayals of those extraordinary years in Mexico, but also spreads before the reader a panorama of Russian history, revolution and upheaval throughout the first half of the twentieth century. This remarkable debut is as personal and confiding as a whisper but reverberates with the momentous words and voices of history.
