SUNDAY TIMES'Superb.' DAILY MAIL'Elegantly written.' SUNDAY TELEGRAPHBorn 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.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.

You must read it!' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐'One of those books that you don't want to end and which stays with you.' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐'Brilliant. You will never forget this book.' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
