loriewalsh 's review for:
The Lacuna
by Barbara Kingsolver
The first half of Lacuna was a first rate food book. I was hungry every time I read it and dreamt of dulce empanadas (or is it empanadas dulce?) I know very little about Mexico, Trotsky, and the Riveras and it was fun to read about them with such vivid imagery. The book was a little long at times - it took quite a while to get to the McCarthy hearings for example - but I thoroughly enjoyed it. I really liked the way the ending unfolded. Couldn't help smiling and I thought about it when I woke up this morning.
