george55 's review for:

The Lacuna by Barbara Kingsolver
3.0

A bit overlong and unnecessarily complex, but a good read. Postwar USA doesn't come out well with the ignorant scourge of McCarthyism etc. Interesting stuff about Diego Rivera, Frida Kahlo and Trotsky in Mexico. But the central character of Harrison Shepherd (cook, servant and writer) was a bit weak.
