Frida Kahlo’s haunting art often explores two subjects: the first, her turbulent relationship with Communist muralist Diego Rivera; the second is her home country, Mexico. Aside from stints in the United States and Europe, she spent most of her life in the Blue House in Coyoacan, a leafy neighbourhood in the south of Mexico City. It was here she was born, learned to paint while recovering from a traumatic accident, lived on and off with Diego and died, aged just 47, leaving behind 200 works that weave together Surrealism, fantasy and folklore. In this guide we chart Kahlo’s time in this vast metropolis, from childhood to death, taking in life-altering events such as a tram accident that left her bedridden for years, to her first glimpse of Diego. Through 35 entries, we gain insight into Kahlo’s life and work and the inspiration she found in the city of her birth.

The London of Slow Horses is more than just a backdrop; at once grim and flash, oppressively surveilled and unknowably huge, the city is an integral part of Herron’s stories. Lamb’s London charts the real places used in both the books and TV show: the rundown parade of shops in Barbican in which Slough House squats; the bench by the Thames where Lamb and Diana Taverner hold secret meetings; Lamb’s favourite Chinese restaurant; the Marylebone cafe the opposition uses for dead drops, the hidden hideaways and pubs to which Cartwright, Standish, Ho and co. retreat to drown their sorrows. Lamb’s London is an essential addition to the library of every Mick Herron fan, and for casual viewers it provides a thrilling real-life link to the most exciting and original spy drama of our time.
