sescheitler 's review for:

The Lacuna by Barbara Kingsolver
4.0

I read this novel, then watched the film Frida, and felt I already knew the story, but with so much more nuance. Kingsolver is a beautiful writer, and she uses this talent to introduce readers to the story of Kahlo, Rivera, and Trotsky. It's about Mexico. It's about Washington, DC. It's about revolution, and the 1930s. It's about the loneliness of not having a home. Simply wonderful.
