djbq 's review for:

The Lacuna by Barbara Kingsolver
5.0

Another smashing success by one of my all-time favorite authors. Her ability to capture a time and a culture is unmatched. I read this book in the time surrounding the 2012 US Presidential election and the second half of the book regarding the red scare was very pertinent. It is a shame that political intolerance and ignorance and fear and hatred are still so prevalent.
