**DEMON COPPERHEAD: THE NEW BARBARA KINGSOLVER NOVEL IS AVAILABLE
FOR PRE-ORDER NOW** WINNER OF THE WOMEN'S PRIZE FOR FICTION 2010
THE MULTI-MILLION COPY BESTSELLER 'Lush.' Sunday Times 'Superb.'
Daily Mail 'Elegantly written.' Sunday Telegraph From Pulitzer
Prize nominee and award winning author of Homeland, The Poisonwood
Bible 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. Born 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.
