<p><b>FROM THE WINNER OF THE PULITZER PRIZE FOR FICTION</b><br><b>TWICE WINNER OF THE WOMEN'S PRIZE FOR FICTION</b><br><b>THE MULTI-MILLION COPY BESTSELLING AUTHOR</b><br><br><b>''Lush.'' <i>SUNDAY TIMES</i></b><br><b>''Superb.'' <i>DAILY MAIL</i></b><br><b>''Elegantly written.'' <i>SUNDAY TELEGRAPH</i></b><br><br>Born 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.<br><br><i>The Lacuna</i> 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.<br><br><b>Readers loved <i>The Lacuna</i>:<br>''My new favourite book . . . it gets under your skin.'' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐<br>''An amazing tale. You must read it!'' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐<br>''One of those books that you don''t want to end and which stays with you.'' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐<br>''Brilliant. You will never forget this book.'' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐</b></p>
