Lacuna, the

New York Times Bestseller

The acclaimed bestseller, now in paperback—an epic journey from the Mexico City of Diego Rivera, Frieda Kahlo, and Leon Trotsky to the America of Pearl Harbor, FDR, and J. Edgar Hoover, and a poignant story of a man pulled between two nations as they invent their modern identities

With deeply compelling characters, a vivid sense of place, and a clear grasp of how history and public opinion can shape a life, Barbara Kingsolver has created an unforgettable portrait of the artist, and of art itself. The Lacuna is a rich and daring work of literature, establishing its author as one of the most provocative and important of her time.
