This was quite a book. It was a departure from what I remember of other Kingsolver books, this felt heavier and more challenging. It was incredibly long, but a pretty remarkable story with many twists and turns.The main character becomes a cook and confidant of Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo, then goes on to type for Leon Trotsky. This story deals with some historical issues that feel pretty real, and a variety of interesting relationships between the main character and others. I recommend this book, but I warn you that it is over 500 pages that I would not classify as light reading.
