The Time Monk Presents
The Lacuna by Barbara Kingsolver follows the life of Harrison Shepherd, a boy with an American father and Mexican mother who grows up in both countries, from 1929 - 1951. Although The Lacuna is presented as Shepherd's diaries and letters, he is not a very strong character in the novel. Indeed, The Lacuna is much more about what is happening in the world around Shepherd as he works for real historical figures. The history presented in The Lacuna is interesting, but the lack of intimacy and impetus in the main character makes the novel drag a little.
