nan_patience 's review for:
The Lacuna
by Barbara Kingsolver
Found this beautiful hardcover first edition book with it's beautiful dust jacket intact in a tiny library in the neighborhood and thought, ya know, I don't believe I've read this one!
I read it, I loved it. I love the way this story comes together through multiple sources in a mix of fiction and nonfiction. Like a hunt through history! Very satisfying.
Also, the relationship between the protagonist and his mother (btw B Kingsolver is really good at boys/men) and his writerly life (and spoiler: final redemption/escape) are some highlights for me.
