Sunday Times'Superb.' Daily Mail'Elegantly written.' Sunday TelegraphFrom award-winning and internationally bestselling author of Demon Copperhead and Flight Behaviour, 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBorn in America and raised in Mexico, Harrison Shepherd is a liability to his social-climbing flapper mother, Salome. When he starts work in the household of Mexican artists Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo - where the Bolshevik leader, Lev Trotsky, is also being harboured as a political exile - he inadvertently casts his lot with art, communism and revolution. A compulsive diarist, he records and relates his colourful experiences of life with Diego Rivera, Frida Kahlo and Trotsky in the midst of the Mexican revolution. A violent upheaval sends him back to America; but political winds continue to throw him between north and south, in a plot that turns many times on the unspeakable breach - the lacuna - between truth and public presumption.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Griffin Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42607614754860,"sku":"9780571252671","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0379\/1365\/7388\/products\/9780571252671.jpg?v=1707729134","url":"https:\/\/www.griffinbooksonline.live\/products\/9780571252671","provider":"Griffin Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
