The Lacuna
I've just begun reading "The Lacuna," by Barbara Kingsolver. I admit it's too early to comment on it yet, since I've only read a few pages, but so far I've really enjoyed it because of two things: Number one, I think Barbara Kingsolver is just so gifted. Her wording is wonderful -- here's a description of the couples at a nighttime fiesta in a Mexican village:
"The girls wore striped wool skirts, lace blouses, and their narrow-waisted boyfriends."
Love that. The second reason I'm enjoying it is because I added a Spanish-English translation dictionary to my Kindle and have temporarily changed my default dictionary over to it. It really enhances the experience for this book.
