Produktinformationen "The Lacuna"
FROM THE WINNER OF THE PULITZER PRIZE FOR FICTIONTWICE WINNER OF THE WOMEN'S PRIZE FOR FICTIONTHE MULTI-MILLION COPY BESTSELLING AUTHOR''Lush.'' SUNDAY TIMES''Superb.'' DAILY MAIL''Elegantly written.'' SUNDAY TELEGRAPHBorn in America and raised in Mexico, Harrison Shepherd starts work in the household of Mexican artists Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo. A compulsive diarist, he records and relates his colourful experiences of life in the midst of the Mexican revolution, but political winds toss him between north and south.The Lacuna is the heartbreaking story of a man torn between the warm heart of Mexico and the cold embrace of 1950s America in the shadow of Senator McCarthy. It is both a portrait of the artist-and of art itself.Readers loved The Lacuna:''My new favourite book . . . it gets under your skin.'' ?????''An amazing tale. You must read it!'' ?????''One of those books that you don''t want to end and which stays with you.'' ?????''Brilliant. You will never forget this book.'' ?????
