The Lacuna by Barbara Kingslover

The is my new answer to "What is your favorite book?" If I were a person in power, it could be policy shifting. To folks mired in selfishness and fear, it could be life changing. We are a people without logic, unable to keep from making the same mistakes over and over. America from the 20's to the 50's; Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo; McCarthyism and a narrater voice that is Kingsolver finding just the most beautifully perfect word or phrase. It makes me want to buy enough copies to loan to everyone I know.
