The Lacuna

Historical tapestry intertwining art, politics, and identity.

If you're someone who finds beauty in a rich blend of history and fiction, "The Lacuna" is a treat. Barbara Kingsolver masterfully weaves actual events with the life of a fictional protagonist. It's a book that will connect you with the vibrant eras of Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera, while exploring the nuances of politics and personal identity. It's an immersive journey that's as educational as it is emotionally moving.

Description

The Lacuna is a gripping story of identity, connection with our past, and the power of words to create or devastate. Crossing two decades, from the vibrant revolutionary murals of Mexico City to the halls of a Congress bent on eradicating the colour red, The Lacuna is as deep and rich as the New World itself.
