The Lacuna by Barbara Kingsolver

Barbara Kingsolver is one of my all time favorite authors. This book is written in a very different voice from her other books. This was hard for me, and I almost didn't get past the first 30 pages. I stuck it out, and am so glad that I did. With her usual flare for mixing interesting facts with fiction, a Lacuna is a missing piece, I learned many historical events and pieced together parts of my missing historical knowledge. A story teaches me best and this is a wonderful deep story.

Caution: language, sexuality, and violence
