The Lacuna
by Barbara Kingsolver
i don't think i have the words to describe what this book made me feel. I loved the writing style; not unnecessarily flowery but not bland. And though a lot of the political commentary probably went over my head, as I'm not the most well versed in Russian or American politics on account of not being from either of those countries, what I did understand I found very interesting. Especially as a lot of the problems mentioned (specifically in America) are still so relevant today. I also quite liked how extraordinarily ordinary most of the tale was. This is the story of a man, a writer, a lover, nothing more and nothing less. Now, don't get me wrong it was interesting and anything but ordinary in terms of how this boy lived, but still, it was the tale of a man.
I do have a lot more to say about this book (if you saw the state of my own copy, you might understand) but I fear it would not all fit into this little box here, so I would like to, as an end note, add that I loved this book very much and that I do believe most everyone should read it.
