New Book by Kingslover

Oh how I love Barbara Kingslover! I'm enjoying her new book, Lacuna. She prods you to think about history and the American political interference of foreign governments in a different way. I loved the revelation of the lives of the Mexican artists Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera and how they influence the fictional character in this novel. He attention to details is phenomenal.
She did this in The Poisonwood Bible which was her first novel that brought her to our attention.

I'm feeling so cultured---We went to the "World of the PHARAOHS" exhibit this week. It was overwhelming with the volume of pieces and information. Glad we went!
