A master story teller at work! Kingsolver sucked me right into the lacuna – the gaps and tunnels – where truth lives, unseen and suppressed. The way this control is rife in the media has always been a favourite rant of mine, so I gobbled up her adamant presentation of this theme in many different scenarios. It has been decades since I’ve skimmed against the topics of Aztec history, the citizens’ war effort of the 1940s, the art and politics of Mexican artists Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera, Stalin vs Trotsky, McCarthy’s purge of innocent citizens during his rabid “un-American activities” era … Kingsolver made this all come alive for me through her fictional protagonist. A great read!
